Help: How to Improve Clinical Skills in Online Learning?

[Mathew O.]

Hello, everyone! 

I am a 2nd year nursing student where my professional subjects mostly focused on Maternal and Child Health Nursing. This year marks the 2nd year that I am in Online Distance Learning and I feel that my clinical skills are not improving. I can't help but feel incompetent at most times because our teachers are just giving us a list of skills that we need to perform without demonstrating how to do them first. I am just thankful that we have access to Youtube videos, but I feel like it's still not enough since I am unsure which videos highlight timely and evidence-based practices. Another problem is that the videos are done in the US setting, but I am currently operating in the Philippines.

I was wondering if someone can give me tips on how to improve my clinical skills and if can you please suggest some online resources that will help me. 

Thank you.

I looked at your college site. It doesn't say that it has a skills lab as part of the teaching program. I so wish I could help. It is hard to learn skills without handling the equipment and actually performing the skill. Best wishes.
