If you mean Roane State then, yes, we have 1 clinical day a week for the first semester and you spend about 5 hrs at the hospital each time, plus an hour at post conference back at the school. I leave on clinical days around 2:00pm (I have to be at the hospital at 8:00am). You would also have 2 class days 9:00 am to 2:30 pm and a lab day 8:00am to 2:00 pm.:balloons:
At LMU, clinicals are 1x/wk the first semester, starting at 7a and ending around 2p. After that it's 2x/wk, roughly the same hours. Clinical rotations for specialities (peds, psych) may have different days/hours b/c of the shortage of facilities. You have to take what they give you. Your preceptor rotation the last semester (60 hrs in an area of choice), is your preceptor's working hours -- could be day, evening or night shift, weekdays or weekends.
Yes, once a week the first semester, twice a week for the second and third semesters, and the last semester is a 60-hour rotation with a preceptor at a hospital or similar setting. What semesters you attend depends on whether you're in the 2-yr or 18-month program.
I'm happy to help. I've been in your shoes, trying to get info and not being able to.

Hello, I need to know what the clinicals are like at the two different schools. I heard ROANE only has 1 the first semester?
I am working full-time, no kids at home, so I am going to continue to work and attend a NP. Can you tell me how many days you are at the hospital doing clinicals. Thanks
I really want to continue to work, if I can go thru breast cancer treatment, finish my BA in Accounting, and continue to work full time I know I can do this:monkeydance:
