Allied Health and Nursing Problems That You Can
Solve With Clinical Rotation Scheduling Software 

• Clinical rotation can be a grave issue in Allied
  health and nursing programs. The clinical
  rotation manager of schools and hospital liaison
  invest a lot of effort and time to manage student
  documentation for clinical rotations. And the
  fact that these documents are sent in paper
  format or as email attachments just complicates
  the situation further. This leads to incomplete
  student records and subsequently unfilled slots.

  software can help solve these problems.

How To Organize an Effective Nursing Clinical
Rotation Schedule

• After hours upon hours of studying, it is now
  time to transition from the lecture-based
  classroom learning to explore real care
  environments.  What are the things you need to
  focus on to make sure that you are successful in
  patient care?  Well, here tips that will help you
  organize an effective nursing clinical rotation
  schedule as you embark on planning for your
  specialty.

10
Be Bold

• As a nursing student, there is nothing to lose
  but everything to gain. You need to be bold.
  Consider setting a meeting to discuss job
  openings with a nurse manager.  You also need to
  meet with your unit preceptor if you need
  assistance with job prep or have questions.

11
Have The Right Perspective

• Most nursing students are obsessed with
  showcasing what they know.  This may be out of a
  desire to impress fellow students or staff. But
  the problem with this is that it makes students
  too focused on impressing that they forget that
  there is a lot they can learn, too.
• One true way of impressing the staff is by asking
  questions and showing that you are learning by
  verbalizing. The nursing profession is complex
  and ever-changing, and learningnot just
  knowingis the secret to success. Your time will
  have been wasted if all you got from your
  clinical was a feel-good factor about letting the
  world know what you knew. Be open to learning.

12
Ask Questions

• Most nursing students avoid asking questions
  because of fear. They fear that by asking
  questions, they will be seen as dumb. Others just
  fear speaking up, and yet others fear that the
  question may not be received well. But asking
  questions is important and can help you in your
  learning.
• Feel free to ask any questions, thoughts, or
  clarifications that come to mind. You should feel
  slightly annoying otherwise chances are that you
  are not asking enough questions.

13
Research what you dont know

• During your clinicals, you are going to encounter
  things you have never heard. After getting home
  from your shift, research on the things you were
  not familiar with earlier on. It could be a
  medication, disease or concept you werent
  familiar with. And all you need for research is
  just Google. Researching something you dont know
  but have experienced is too valuable an
  opportunity to be wasted. Make a habit of
  researching anytime you are unfamiliar with
  something. This applies to both students and
  nurses.

14
Seek Learning Opportunities

• Clinical rotations give nurses countless
  opportunities to learn. All you need is to take
  advantage of them. Making your preceptor know
  about your burning desire to learn about unique
  experiences or opportunities you havent
  participated in can make them want to expose you
  to different learning experiences. Can you go
  with that patient to an MRI? Are you allowed to
  attend a committee or meeting? Are you free to
  see an unusual treatment taking place? Asking
  around will enable you to discover unique
  opportunities around you that you can learn from.
•  Clinical rotations may be a requirement for
  attaining your nursing degree. However, they are
  more than that. They are a privilege to work with
  professional nurses and apply what you have been
  taught in class in a real-world environment. You
  should make all efforts to make the most of them.

Practical Tips to Help You Excel During a Nursing
Student Clinical Placement

• Nursing school education not only entails
  classroom lectures but also hands-on experience
  in a clinical setting. The latter sector is often
  referred to as clinicals. Simply put, clinical
  placements are a massive opportunity to take your
  classroom skills and apply them in a hospital
  setting.
• Here is how to make the most of your clinicals.

16
Visit The Facility Beforehand

• After finding out where your clinical placement
  is, figure out how to get there and calculate the
  travel time you will require. Get in touch with
  the department or the ward in advance. This will
  help you figure out where it is and have a feel
  of how things are handled in the facility. It
  also shows that you have a keen interest in
  nursing and may work in your favor in the long
  run.

17
Keep Time

• It is important to arrive on time and also in the
  prescribed uniform. Remember that you are
  training for a professional job, so the image is
  everything. So, besides keeping time, ensure that
  you are neat and tidy.

18
Dont Put Demands

• There are times when you cannot avoid getting an
  inconvenient work shift. Talk to the ward about
  any particular commitment that you have, but
  remember that you wont be writing your own work
  shifts. Be cautious with whatever you intend to
  ask to increase the chances of your request being
  granted.

19
Take A Tour Of The Place

• Ask a member of staff to show you around the
  unit, ward or placement. For instance, find out
  where the fire exits are as well as the emergency
  call system. Additionally, ask about the kind of
  procedures they do undertake as well as who their
  patients are.

20
Show Interest

• You can talk to staff to explain to you different
  procedures or even or advise you on something
  that you would want to observe happens. For
  instance, what procedure is the most common at
  that unit? Bear in mind that the greater the
  number of placements you do, the greater the
  confidence you will have in handling different
  procedures. Request to see the procedures
  performed firsthand to get the needed experience.

21
Be Ready To Do Any Work

• Do not shy away from getting involved in a task
  that appears too menial at face value like
  tidying or making a bed. This can be a wonderful
  chance to talk to staff or patients and it adds
  to your knowledge and learning.

22
Dont Be Afraid To Say No

• If you cant do something, dont be afraid to say
  it. If the procedure you are being asked to do is
  new to you or you dont know how to do it, just
  say you cant do it because you havent seen it
  done. A doctor may ask you to admit a new patient
  into the unit. This is normally done by the nurse
  in charge since they understand the capacity and
  staffing at the time. Feel free to say no, but be
  sure to explain why its inappropriate for you.
• Clinicals are an important part of the education
  cycle of a nurse. This is where you will be
  applying your classroom knowledge. To get the
  most of your time in a clinical placement,
  however, you need to do a few things make
  friends with the unit staff, ask about anything
  you dont know or understand, and never shy away
  from saying no to something you cannot do.
