Abstract
Your first clinical placement as a nursing student will be an exciting experience, but it may also be somewhat overwhelming.
Highlights
Even if you have prepared well, you may still find that the placement is not what you expected
50% of your time on a nursing degree course will be spent in a university, learning the theory you will put into practice, and the rest will be spent in the clinical environment
This could be in a community setting, an outpatient clinic, a hospital ward or a rehabilitation unit, to name a few
