Just starting my second year in the RN program, and we have new instructors.
Today, they told us about clinical make-ups and it's pretty ugly:
1 Day Med-Surg
a. Case study and presentation to your clinical group
b. Computer program (6hrs long)
c. Look up articles in nursing journals and complete 5 CEUs worth of tests.Give copy of articles and tests to faculty.
2 Days Med-Surg( x2)
a. Case study and presentation to your clinical group
b. Computer program (6hrs long)
c. Look up articles in nursing journals and complete 5 CEUs worth of tests. Give copy of articles and tests to faculty.
I've never missed a day of clinical. But this semester, I have to because I'm scheduled for my citizenship interview on a clinical day.
Guys, I need your help, what am I to do?? They've already told us that no matter the excuse, we will need to do a make-up, but as you can see the make-ups are no joke!!!! I don't want to any make-ups. As some of you know, the nursing curriculum is crazy. Do I try to reschedule my interview even if they preferred I not. Will my instructors recognize the importance of getting one's citizenship and let me off the hook. Pls help!!!

Clinical make-ups should be the equivalent of a clinical day and its preparatory work.
Actually, I think the make-ups you described sound appropriate.
