Nursing student clinical and practicums take place in a healthcare setting, where students can gain the experience they need to succeed in their future careers. Potential internship settings include hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and doctor’s offices. Students’ nursing schools help place them in an internship or practicum environment that suits their academic needs and career goals.

In nursing practicums, students are supervised by a registered nurse who serves as their mentor. Practicum students help with paperwork and other supportive duties, and while their work doesn't include hands-on patient care, they do have chances to observe working nurses as they care for patients. nursing student clinical include more responsibility than practicums, since they require direct patient care. Tasks include feeding and dressing patients, administering medication, assisting with tests and procedures, and helping develop and implement patient care plans. Interns work with the nursing staff in a clinical setting, and are closely supervised by a registered nurse who monitors and reports their progress to their nursing school.

 

Practicums and clinical helps students improve their self-discipline skills, preparing them to complete tasks in the workplace and successfully hold down a job. These positions also help students hone their interpersonal skills by providing them the opportunity to work with nursing staff and other healthcare professionals.

 

Practicums and clinical provide first-hand experiences that the classroom cannot offer. Students may practice techniques for administering medication or drawing blood in a classroom, but it’s completely different to perform these tasks for a real patient who may be ill, anxious, or in pain. These students also get a chance to work in different specialties, so they may find there’s an area of medicine they especially prefer, or ones they don’t like. This knowledge, plus the professional connections and recommendations students can gain in the process, are especially helpful in transitioning from the academic world to the workforce after graduation.​

The College of Nursing has established a number of specialized laboratories that contribute significantly to the teaching and practical learning process. This is to help students gain competencies in clinical skills applied before starting their clinical training in hospitals. The college attempts to ensure that all its laboratories are equipped with the latest equipment to provide advanced practical training for students to cover their various fields of study. Therefore, the College of Nursing has equipped four specialized scientific laboratories that help bridge the gap between theoretical training in the lecture hall and practical application in the hospital environment. Students are trained in all nursing skills using simulation manikins to help them hone their performance skills before applying the same skills to real patients in the actual hospital environment.

 

The faculty laboratories include:

1. Fundamentals of Nursing Laboratory

Students are trained in a safe environment and under the supervision of trainers, before applying them to actual patients in hospitals. Training takes place within the the framework of occupational patterns and by using different teaching methods, which include application to different models to prepare students to later engage in the practical training process in different hospitals according to the practical courses in the study plan.

 

2. Health Assessment Laboratory:

The clinical evaluation laboratory contains human models and special tools that allow the student to gain competencies related to conducting a comprehensive clinical examination of the patient, interviewing patients, diagnosis and documentation.

Students practice skills in decision-making, problem-solving, and evidence-based nursing care.

 

4. Maternal and Child Health Nursing Laboratory:

Training is carried out in this laboratory using CDs that explains the process of pregnancy and childbirth, and training and application are carried out on models of the pregnant woman, the birth process, and newborns, so as to provide students with the skills, information and directions appropriate to care for women during the stages of pregnancy and childbirth. This laboratory also aims to provide students with the necessary competencies to take care of newborns and children and to qualify students to practice in the hospital and society through application to various models and tools and the laboratory includes models and models that illustrate the different stages of pregnancy, childbirth, and newborns.​
