Hey all,

Just curious as to what clinicals we get to do? I've heard med/surg or course and OB but what else? Do we get to view any surgeries in the OR? I know a few who started in the fall and their med/surg rotation is on the bariatric floor...

It's so exciting and so real all of a sudden. I mean I've been waiting for what seems like forever and thinking about it almost daily but now it's actually official:yeah:. I just want to know everything:eek:...

Well lets see 1st you have a general nursing clinical. I was on a pulmonary floor which was actually not normal they usually have more general nursing I guess. 2nd semester it is split between med surg which I was on a floor that basically had mostly pts recovering from surgery (knee, neck ect) not to many were actually sick. Same semester I also had psychiatric nursing rotation (you talk to a lot of people). 3rd semester you have 2 med surg rotations. 1st I had oncology, now I have renal. Last semester is ob, pediatric and management. Management is med surg again basically but you get 5 pts at a time.

Thank you...apparently I asked the same question back in January ( I did a search on HFCC clinicals) and amybeth was also very generous with info. So if anyone else is interested (such as my future classmates) do a search and you can see what she had to say as well. :clown: I'm just so stinking excited...I'm hopeing it stays that way...lol.

I'm 1st yr and we're on a heart floor. You get to do vitals, physical asssessments, health histories, bed baths, linen changes, pass meds and injections. ---- and then lots of paperwork.

It's great.
