My BSN program has us start at a LTC facility. They do this because one of our elected this semester is healthy agingclass so that elective helps us learn how to work with the older population.

Specializes in Critical Care.

The first half of our first semester is in LTC (hate it so. very. much.) and then in October we're moving on to hospitals for acute care (mostly med-surg).

It varies. 1st some sort of med-surg or vascular/ortho/oncology. Same with 2nd semester plus a day in surgery. 3rd semester varies but it usually is some sort of step down level unit with rotations to ICU and ER and the last six weeks is psyh. Fourth is peds, labor and delivery, and nursing home.
