  1. 1st semester clinicals..........more than I expected & can handle

    Calipso posted a topic in General Students
    I'm in my 1st semester of an ADN program and had my first clinical yesterday. Yesterday was basically orientation and my instructor laid out what she expects of us. Keep in mind that I have only been in nursing school 8 weeks. We are to do a complete (JVD, muscle strength, cranial nerves, cardio, pulmonary etc.) head to toe assessment on our assigned patient , memorize several lab values (my fundamentals teacher told us that was 2nd semester) and are to be ready to do Foley caths, would care and trach care (those 3 will be supervised). Also we have to do charting, prioritize nursing diagnosises and make goals. She said we're not ready for interventions yet which is funny when I think about how much she thinks we are ready for. I'm terrified. Is this typical for 1st semester clinicals? I thought I'd be helping with ADL's and observing.
