How often are clinicals?

[ava-virgo]

I Start my first semester this fall, so i was wondering if any of you could give me an idea of how often students attend clinicals.

[Nurse Lynette, BSN, RN]

We attend clinicals on Monday and Tuesday and have lecture on Thursday.

[SBJustBreathe, ASN, RN]

We will be going twice a week

[alovelymother]

We have 1 day of clinicals, a half day of skills lab, and 1 day of lecture/pharmacology.

[brillohead, ADN, RN]

Depends on the program. Our full-time program is two days of lecture and two days of clinical. Part-time program is one day of lecture and one day of clinical.

Our clinicals ran two days a week for 6-8 hours per week for 6-8 weeks (depending on the class - Med-Surg was long, Geriatrics was short). Class was 2-3 days per week on top of clinicals.

[rubato, ASN, RN]

2 days per week, 8 hours each day. But, we only have 1 per week for the first couple of weeks. I guess we need to be gently guided into this.

I think also there's just not much you can do in the beginning...if you can only do things you've already learned how to do in class, you're pretty limited at first!
