Tri-C ADN program clinicals

Published

I was looking at the ADN curriculum on the Tri-C website and couldn't seem to find any details about the clinicals. I know clinicals like med/surg, peds, OB, psych, acute care, etc are pretty common (or required?).

Does anyone know what specific clinicals Tri-C ADN students do and what the common clinical sites are? What semesters are they typically done in? Do students have the option to spend any extra time in the ICU/CCU area? Do students do an ED rotation? I'm interested in being a trauma nurse, or perhaps ICU or ER.

Sorry for all the questions! I just found out today that I meet all the entrance requirements for the ADN program :)

I have spoken with several people in the nursing department and no one seems to know.

Third semester students do peds, OB, and psych and they mentioned hospice in the 4th semester. Beyond that, no one seems to know what clinicals students do and no one knows if students get any time in an acute care setting such as ED or ICU. I'd like to not spend majority of my time in a nursing home and in hospice or at least have the option for an elective.

Help anyone? What other clinicals do Tri-C nursing students complete?
