I am a 3rd year BScN student in Ontario. During the course of our clinicals I found it very hard to have an RN work one on one with us. In first year we are in a hospital setting for 6 days, 2nd year were doing alot of bedside care with PSW's and some nurses were not willing to help at all. They looked at us like we were taking their places. 3rd year is community nursing, where we are not allowed to do any meds or drug calculations. As a student, its not that easy to tranistion the textbook into practice without more actual time in pracitce. I personally think that is a downfall to the BScN program at Ryerson. I feel we need more time to get our practice at a good level. However, when we do find a preceptor willing to go that far for us it says a lot about them and for that I am thankful.
