My clinical experience in the vocational nursing program has included rotations at Cornerstone Gardens (Temple, TX) for my first semester and also at the VA Hospital in Temple, TX on the Medical Sugical unit for my last two semesters
I also have clinical experience at Baylor Scott & White Hospital in Temple, TX while in the ADN program, including Medical Surgical unit during the summer semester and progressive trauma unit for fall semester (2024), one rotation in the PICU at Mclanes Children's Hospital. In my current/last semester I attend clinicals on the Medical/Surgical Oncology Unit of Baylor Scott & White Hospital, with a rotation to CVICU and L&D unit.
Throughout my time at clinical I have successfully performed these skills under observation: obtaining vital signs, recording intake and output, administration of medications (PO, IM, IV and subcutaneously), physical assessments, insertion/removal of foley catheters, insertion of IVs, and assisted in ADLs
