Clinical for Beginners.
As nursing students we experience obstacles than most college students don’t face. We don’t have off on the weekends, due to this thing called clinical. Clinical is extremely important for nursing students. This is the closest thing to reality while being a nurse. So those weekends that we are not going out to a party, down to the shore, or just chilling, we will be bettering our education and providing ourselves with crucial experiences in the clinical setting. Clinical is not the easiest thing in the world. It’s very long hours on days of the week that we are used to having off. However the two clinical days that we have weekly are extremely beneficial for all of us. We learn how to work together and accomplish skills that we have never used before. We go into clinical every week and face situations we have never seen. However at the end of the day we have learned something that we will indeed use as a nurse one day. I’m writing his post because we are all in the same boat. It may feel like we are trapped now, however clinical is a great thing for all of us. Next spring when we all graduate we will all be ready to hit the floors. We will thank the clinical we experience for setting us up on the right path. We have to work together and get through all the struggles in order to for fill our dreams of being nurses. Enjoy your clinical and make the best of it. Have a great semester!
Joey, I agree completely! I know that this semester, I had a really hard time with my time management just because of having clinical every single weekend. It was hard to try and balance that and studying just because I would come home from clinical and be absolutely exhausted. I'm thankful that I finally figured out something that works for me. Although I may be missing out on certain events happening in my life just because of clinical, I know that it will all be worth it. I agree, clinical is so beneficial for all of us. It allows us to take the lecture material and apply it to real life, giving us the reality of what our future will look like. I'm thankful for my clinical experiences and everything it is teaching me.
ReplyDeletehey joey this clinical post was great because it was truly encouraging. It explained clinical but it also is true in every point of how beneficial it will be for us in the long run. we all thing of it sometimes as just another job with long hours but in reality we are getting an endless amount of practice trials before we hit the ground running after graduation.
