What Are Clinicals?

If you have been researching nursing schools, you may have seen the word “Clinicals” before but not known what they are. Clinicals are a safe space for nursing students to practice what they have been learning in class. This can be done in situations like a Simulation Lab, or it can be in a real clinic or hospital setting. This is a great opportunity to figure out what kind of nursing you may be most interested in. While this may seem intimidating, your clinical instructor and other nurses will be around to assist you if needed and to answer questions you may have.
