I am currently a freshmen in my second semester finishing my pre-requisites before I apply to nursing school. I will apply to the nursing program the last semester of my sophomore year.
So EXCITED!!
I was wondering what clinicals were like in nursing school? Like what do you get to do, how are the hours, will it help make me a good nurse? Also, do you get paid for clinicals? I hope so because that would be awesome.

February 6, 2014 at 3:03 pmNo you do not get paid for nursing clinicals. I wish! If you did I would have some good money right now because I have done a lot of clinical hours. I have enjoyed my clinicals so far. I am doing an ICU rotation and I have seen everything from a gun shot wound to a crazy car accident. I have got to start many IVs and mess with arterial lines. You will learn a lot in your nursing clinicals and remember to try to jump at every opportunity they offer you. You will get as much out of clinicals as you put into it.
