DawnMagazines publishes article about how nursing majors can get ahead during their clinical experiences

DawnMagazines.com recently published an article on how nursing majors can get ahead throughout their clinical experiences and education. The demand for nurses has increased exponentially over the past decade, so much so, that according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics the employment rate for nurses is projected to grow by over 45% throughout the next decade.

The article goes in-depth explaining not only what clinical experience is, but the importance of it for nursing students. Research has found that hands-on learning opportunities help to improve students’ technical skills as well as their soft skills. The article also mentioned daily tasks for nurses and the fact that they are typically very hands-on. Examples include administering medications, washing patients, changing and dressing wounds, and administering injections. 

Because of the complex and hands-on tasks being carried out on a day-to-day basis, not all of the education pieces can be taught in a classroom. Much of the field is learned through clinical experiences and hands-on training opportunities. Therefore, it is so critical for students to ensure they are pursuing their education at a college or university that provides hands-on instruction and training opportunities. For example, the article references Berry College, a nursing program in Georgia, where their staff works to expose students to high fidelity simulated hospital situations. They also help to provide students with the hands-on training and experience needed to be successful in their roles.  

Of course, there are other benefits associated with receiving clinical experience other than the hands-on training. The article goes in-depth about other important advantages of receiving clinical experience, such as how clinical experience allows students the opportunity to network. Networking is extremely important regardless of the degree being pursued. It provides them the opportunity to meet and mingle with others in the same industry as them, oftentimes with several more years of experience under their belt. Networking can also help to better understand the field, as colleagues and mentors can help to answer any questions students may have and provide them with guidance. However, it can also be a building block to students landing their dream job. Many students are hired directly out of school for the institution they were training at, and if they have connections on the inside, it makes it more likely that they will land the job.

However, this isn’t to be misconstrued that classroom education isn’t equally as important. The article also references the importance of classroom education, and how it’s the foundation for many of the hands-on skills to be learned. The general education requirements must first be fulfilled, then students can begin to move up in their workload’s complexity. This information is then used in their clinical experiences and is how they become familiar with many of the aspects, roles, and terminology the job entails.

Overall, the article suggests that the career outlook for nursing students is projected to grow significantly over the next decade and that clinical experience is at the forefront of being successful in the role.
