What do you do in clincals when you are in a RN-BSN program?

Got kind of a crazy question here. I'm in an ADN program and plan on getting my BSN after I start working some. So in a RN-BSN program what do you do in clincals? I thought it was the same as I was doing now in ADN but I noticed a RN-BSN student the other day while I was in clinical and she stated what program she was in and she was just observing for her clincals. So I guess what I'm asking is....are you not performing skills or performing patient care in these clinicals? I didn't have much time to go and talk to her about it.

At my school there is a BSN program, an ADN program, and an online RN-BSN program. The only supplemental courses the RN-BSN lot takes are community health and management both of which have clinicals. I don't have a clue what they do in either course, but I'll be doing the exact same thing next year. They won't be joining us though. They're off on their own.

Interestingly, it takes less time to go straight to the BSN rather than the ADN then RN-BSN.

It's similar in my area. It would have taken me the exact same time to get my ADN as it would for getting my BSN so obviously it would take longer to go ADN to BSN route which is why I decided to just go straight for my BSN.

For th post about traditional BSN students doing clinicals-YES of course we have clinicals
