We offer a variety of unique clinical experiences. Both nationally and internationally. As a student, you can travel to Costa Rica, Mescalero, NM and the Navajo Nation in Chinle, AZ. Immersing yourself in the culture and caring for diverse communities.
Before starting your clinical experiences, you are required to complete and track all Professional Documentation Requirements. Find out what your requirements are.
But what will your clinical experiences look like? We have you covered. Below is an outline of the experiences you are required to participate in.
Level 1: Rotating through Geriatric Education and Health Maintenance (GEHM) clinics, nursing homes, and hospitals students perform communication skills, vital signs, Capillary Blood Glucose screenings, and risk assessments for falls.
Level 2: Branching out into different populations across the lifespan, students rotate through a variety of hospital and community sites as they perform patient assessments.
Level 3: Students provide patient care in medical-surgical (med-surg) units in the hospitals.
Level 4: Clinical intensives in in-patient settings and a variety of specialty practice areas.
Level 5: Students complete a hospital rotation in either an advanced med-surg or critical care unit such as an Intensive Care Unit or Emergency Department. They will also fulfill their final clinical placement, Capstone, where they are paired with a preceptor for a one-on-one experience in an area of their interest.
Clinical rotations for NMNEC partner schools might differ. Rotations are determined by the hosting school.
We are happy to answer your questions. You just need to contact the right person.
