Which year do nursing students start their clinicals?

Junior year, Senior year, or both?

Specializes in ICU.

In my four year BSN program it was second semester freshman year.

I'm in a small nursing program, ADN, and we are divided into groups based on prerequisites. For now all I know is that I will be graduating in 2014

I started my 2 year ADN program in January. I have many of my gen-ed's (psych, nutrition etc) already done. I started Nursing Fundamentals in July. Week 3 was our first clinical.

I guess I should have also mentioned that I live in Florida because here your first 2 years you take pre-reqs. You enter the actual program your junior year.

For my BSN program, we have fundamentals during our sophomore year and clinicals starting our junior year. It was super exciting since I am currently taking mental health and childbearing clinicals!!!
