Hi y'all! I'm super excited since I'll be starting my clinical practice on Monday (I'm currently a 1st semester student). I'll be selecting a pt on Sunday from the telemetry unit. Has anyone "worked" that floor before? I want to know what to expect and how clinicals are. Also, my clinical shifts are 12 hours on Mondays and 8 hours on Tuesdays. Thanks once again!

Me! In my program our pre-reqs were A&P 1 (B) & 2 (A) and pharmacology (A). Our entrance exam is the TEAS too. I did ok on my TEAS (80%) and managed to get the 9th seat out of 75 seats. I wish y'all the best of luck!

Where I attend, after successful completion of the first semester (Foundations of Nursing Practice) you may take the test to become a CNA. So, it's not necessarily a requirement, but a reward you could say. On the other hand, we have those who are EMT/EMS, MA, techs and they do have a slight advantage. There are others thers who do not have any health care experience in our program and are some of the best students. We all took the same pre-reqs, same entrance exam (TEAS) and did the necessary clearance requirements. The further along you progress in the program, I believe the playing field will even out.
