Clinicals

hllybenn · Oct 14, 2003

The way ours worked was passed on the way it was "approved" by the state board of nursing so we had a rehab, OB, Med Surg I, II, III (critical care), Psych, Community, Peds, Gero. I also did an accelerated BSN (11 months) so itt is probably not the best comparision- but i hope that helps!

We didn't do any LTC at all. We have Med-Surg, Advanced Med-Surg, Psych, OB, Peds, Critical Care (telemetry and ICU), and Management. We rotate out during some of the weeks to do things like Home Health, Hospice, OR, ER, Cancer Care, etc.

Fall 2004 Med Surg 2 and Pediatrics

Spring 2005 Psychosocial and Med-surg 3 Each of these from Spring 2004 thru to the end are 8 week clinicals.

Hope this helps! :)

Thanks guys that helped! I was more curious than anything. It is always nice to hear what other nursing students are "going through" Thanks for the replies.

We didn't do LTC either. I know we have a geriatrics rotation next year, i think, but i don't know if it's LTC or a hospital.

We did surgical 1st yr 2nd sem, 2nd yr is ob/peds/spec. care nursery and then medicine. 3rd yr is mental health and geriatrics/chronic care and 4th yr is management and our consolidation (where ever we want, pretty much, if we can get an RN to be our 'teacher')

As well, we have an 'intersession' for the month of may at the end of our 2nd and 3rd years ... those are done full time in the hospital, on a med and/or surg floor.

I've been in oncology & med-surg so far. Next year it will be pediatrics, obstetrics, psych & advanced med-surg. Oh & one day in the OR, one day at hospice & one day in the GI lab.

we have also had clinical in these areas, however, ltc was done on the unit at a hospital, thus far.
