Post-clinical preperation

Published

I am a first year nursing student and I am researching how students should prepare for post-clinical. I am having trouble finding exactly how to prepare for it. Any information on how to prepare or a good place for me to look would be great.

What do you mean? Like post conference? Like what you tell your instructor at the end of your day?

You can ask your instructor since everyone has different expectations. In my last semester's post conference, we talked about how the day went, what we enjoyed and didn't enjoy, what lessons learned or could've done better, and what we'd like to do in the following week. It's pretty casual.

If your talking about post conferences, it truly depends on the instructor. You just have to play it by ear the first time and than see how what they are looking for. Last term my instructor was pretty tough she wanted a nursing diagnosis for the patient which isn't too bad except she drilled you on everything (labs, procedures, meds etc.)..for the term I am currently in i will start clinical on Sunday, so ill see how she will be than. Good luck to you!
