I have a question about clinicals?

[Iwannabeababynurse]

i just have a couple of questions the clinicals that people have to do when they are in the cna program. one do you have to wear your scrubs to class everytime or just to your clinicals? and two where do the clinicals take place at and what do you do while your there?

we will wear our scrubs only at the clinical site. we got to choose from two ltc facilities. i have no idea what we'll do, but i assume it's everything we learned in class.

If my clinicals are right after class, I wear my scrubs to class. Otherwise, I wear street clothes to class and change into scrubs for clinicals.

In clinicals you will actually do the things you learn about in lecture and lab. You'll start with the basics and then progress through all of the nursing skills.

You will have to pass a check off on each skill in the lab before you do it on an actual patient. So by the time you do something in clinicals you will have practiced it a lot and have been tested on it.

Don't worry. You'll be fine.
