question for veteran Tri-C nursing students

Published

I'll be starting my first semester Fall 2011 and I was planning on doing Sat/Sun clnicals. I am now revisiting the idea of doing weekday evening clinicals if I can make it work with my work schedule. My question is, how much earlier than the scheduled stat time are we required to report to clinicals? I'm assuming we will do care plans before each shift? Sign up for clinicals is in the morning, so I need to make up my mind!!:confused:

Thanks for the feedback

Hey ScottE... do you have an email address that I can send you some questions about 1300 and 1450? I don't have enough posts to send private messages.

Hi, i'm new to this site and was wondering if anyone could give advice on Tri-C's Westshore ADN program vs. the Metro program. I need to determine very soon which one I would prefer and I am clueless. Any feedback is appreciated!

Both of the programs are identical and share the same faculty. They just sort of swap locations each semester. It's just a matter of where you want to have your lecture and lab. The only substantial difference is what clinical sites are available. Westshore typically chooses from more West side locations. Metro sites are a little more spread out.

Thanks. Do you happen to know what the clinical site options are for Westshore and Metro?

The choices of clinical sites vary somewhat from semester to semester and also by a particular class size. However this semester 1300/1450 (First Semester) students at Westshore got to choose from:

St. John Westshore

Cleveland Clinic Main Campus

Lakewood Grace Unit

Parma Hospital Rehab

Lakewood Hospital

Wade Park VA

1300/1450 Students at Metro Campus got to choose from

Bedford

Lutheran

Parma

South Pointe

St Vincent

UH Case Lakeside

Southwest General Hospital

You choose a different clinical location each semester and the actual list of Hospitals switches around somewhat.
