Last semester at Tidewater Community College

NUR 255 is a management class and has no clinicals.

NUR 274 is a community service based class--you will have to do 40 hours of service at a school, nursing home, clinic, etc. It's kind of like a clinical, but the schedules are more flexible and depending on where you're assigned, you could probably set most of your hours to suit your schedule. Though keep in mind that not all sites offer evening and/or weekend hours.

Heads up: 274 is the class that drives everyone to tears--not the service itself, but the assignments you will have to do.

Thanks Meriwhen! That's what I had thought, but somebody was telling us that we would have clinicals for both! But I have to ask, what kind of assignments do they have us do in 274, especially if (gulp) they're gunna drive me to tears?! thanks a bunch!

I'll send you more information in PM as I can't post names

All I'll say here is that follow the assignments EXACTLY. Don't make the mistake of assuming that you won't need to do any of the small stuff or that you and/or your group knows better. Even if it's small and stupid, do it!

case studies (grrrr, do we still have to do those?!?)

Depends on who your clinical instructor is...most of them won't make you do a case study after 270 so hopefully you'll get lucky and land one of those.
