Jan 2, 201214 yr Every nursing school is different in the way it schedules clinicals, and the clinical schedule changes from semester to semester. First semester I had a 7A-7P clinical every Saturday. This semester I have a 6p-midnight clinical on Monday and Wednesday. We generally have at least twelve hours of clinical a week, sometimes more. Sometimes you have three four hour days, two six hour days, or one twelve hour day. Sometimes we work night shift, sometimes day shift, and somtimes we rotate and do days one day and nights the next. At my program, the clinical instructor gets to pick the days and times of clinical, so it's really up to the preference of who is instructing you. Our instructor this time happens to enjoy nights and doesn't want to be stuck at the hospital for tweleve straight hours.
