I'm glad to hear that your first day went well!! My first clincals were in 2 different LTC facilities also. I was assigned one pt. at each facility. Really, it was not a bad clinical experience. I really enjoyed being able to talk to my pt. for a while. LTC is not like Med/Surg or Ob, where you rarely get enough time to do what needs to be done. This should be a great learning opportunity for you. Congratulations!

My schedule looks fairly easy for the first quarter since I've already taken some college (I can exempt some of the basic non-nursing related classes, weird finnish thing don't ask!). The surprise was that we start our clinicals Sept. 11. We are each assigned a patient from a nearby LTC facility. According to the student tutors that basically includes a lot of talking and coffee...
Well, can't think of anything else to write... ask me and I'll tell you more!
