Preceptorship/Clinical Hours

I completed my preceptorship hours at ECRMC in the Med-Surg unit and truly enjoyed it. I performed thorough patient assessments/teachings, various skills within my allowed scope of practice, collaborated with various team members throughout the hospital and was able to advocate for my patients all with the supervision of my preceptor. I completed 9 day shifts from March 2025-April 2025.


Since starting the RN program at Imperial Valley College, I have completed clinical rotations in the following: El Centro Post Acute, Pioneers Memorial Hospital Med-Surg/ER/Wound Care Clinic/Labor & Delivery/NICU/OR/Postpartum, El Centro Regional Memorial Center Med-Surg/ER/ICU, Innercare Pediatrics, PMH Daycare and Valley Endoscopy Center. This is where I first put my skills into use as well as being able to use my knowledge and make the connection to what was going on with my patient.
