These subjects will be a whirlwind through your mind. Study, exam, test, clinical REPEAT!
Here are a few tips to get you through CLINICAL!
Save your medication research on your computer! I have almost 50 pages of meds saved! This will help you during clinical when making your care plans.
Save you care plans! You may get another patient next semester with the same diagnosis!
Always volunteer to do skills! Show your professor you are motivated and ready to learn!
Make sure you fill out every blank in your head to toe assessment. Including hair, nails, sexual history! Your professor will make you do it anyway! Impress them by doing it ALL the first time!
Your instructor will love any holistic interventions in your care plan. Can you say BONUS POINTS!
Get a clipboard that can open. Keep notes and cue cards in it. During your first few semesters you will only be assigned to a patient or two and sometimes you may have down time so used it to study and fill out clinical paperwork.
Always be professional, these may be nurses you work with in the future.
Good Luck! ♥
