It’s almost time for a new semester to start and a lot of you will be going to clinicals for the first time, and the rest of you will be going to clinicals again. I am all done with clinicals now, but I know when I was going through it, I packed a lot of things that I really didn’t need at all, and then there were some things that I didn’t pack, that I kept having to bum off my friends. So, we’re gonna go through all the things that you need for nursing school clinicals.

Thinking about going to clinicals, especially if it’s your first time going to clinicals. There’s so many questions about what it’s going to be like. But, I mean really, the main thing that you want to bring to clinicals is, it sounds cliche, but is a good attitude. Just show up, ready to learn, bring your questions. Don’t be scared of looking like an idiot. Cause you’re a nursing student. You’re gonna look like an idiot. You’re not gonna know how to do very much. You’re not gonna have all the answers, and no one expects you to. Because you’re a nursing student. They expect you to come eager to try new things. To get in there and volunteer to do things, even though they know you’re nervous about it. And they know that you haven’t done this before, but that’s how you learn. You get in there and you try it. But they do expect you to have the supplies you need, so take this time to get your clinicals bag ready to go and packed.
