I finally got in!

Thanks so much. I've never recorded a professor before. But I think now is the time to start. There's so much to learn.

I'm in my early twenties, no kids, at home with only a part-time job so I don't have an excuse to mess this up lol.

Also, how are clinicals? We don't have orientation until next week and I'm not sure what that details. When I was looking at classes it said it was 6 hrs a week.

Well, just make sure you tell your manager/boss that you're going to nursing school so maybe they can provide some flexibility with your schedule. I've known of some people finding it hard to juggle a part time job and school. However, there are some who can have a full time job, kids, and still do phenomenally in class.

I don't attend the same school as you do so, I can't say for certain how your clinical will be. At my school, we didn't attend clinical until a month in our first semester. We were validated on our skills prior to going to the hospitals. Clinical for us is an 8-hour shift once a week, however, our instructors usually didn't keep us there that long.

I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for in terms of "details" for clinical. You are provided with maybe one patient, you get report from your nurse, introduce yourself to the PCA/PCT/CNA and let them know you'll be taking care of that patient today. You go in and introduce yourself to the patient (name, title, and your purpose for being in their room). Then you would assist them with morning care (cleaning them up, making their bed, assisting them to the bathroom- if they can/or are allowed).
