So I'm a fresh Nursing Student. My first clinical was last week in a nursing home, and my fears were realized when: (1) we had to decide what to do ourselves (2) no partners (3) everything the patients asked for I had to ask the tech whether or not it was okay, who was always missing (e.g. can the patient get out of bed/get into bed, which every time the tech said "No") (4) other than getting a glass of water, nothing the patients asked for I actually knew how to do, or was qualified to do (e.g. we were never taught how to put clothes or adult diapers on a bedridden patient, and I had no idea slide boards for moving patients to wheelchairs existed). We didn't even know where things were until the official tour around the building three hours after we started working. I found myself completely clueless for maybe 85% of the 6 hours I was there, literally walking back and forth down the halls either trying to find a tech or looking for clean linens and towels, which were always conveniently low in stock or just out of stock altogether. Are clinicals usually like this, or did I just get a raw deal? Is there any advice someone could give me? This has really left me discouraged and afraid for the future.
