Just Curious

[OB-nurse2013, BSN, RN]

Hi! I am in my third semester out of five and just was thinking about my schools program. My question is about clinicals, I feel we don't really get exposure to a lot of areas and was curious what areas everyone elses programs has clinicals in? Thanks in advance :)

well, let's see. when I was in school (4 semesters), we did skills lab/nursing home/med-surg/med-surg(with a surgery rotation)/ob-gyn/med-surg(with a peds week)/med-surg(with ICU rotation)/nursing home. 8 week rotations, and those last two rotations we each took a turn being charge student, responsible for two other students' whole groups(8 patients total). took a while to get the swing of each place, and just when you got comfy, you changed. There was also a seperate psych clinical for 8 weeks.
