Just trying to gauge what kinds of clinical experience I should be doing.
Currently, my clinical experience comes from being a patient sitter, so I get assigned to patients who need to be calmed down during minor procedures (i.e. placing a PICC line), assisting elderly patients with daily tasks, making sure patients don't pull at IVs, etc.
The feedback I've gotten is that I don't have enough hours (~200 hours) and that this is a "weak" clinical experience.
My question: are roles like EMT/CNA/Scribe etc necessarily "better" than what I have (or roles like patient transport, nursing home)? Can I continue being a sitter or should I do something else?
Also, is it the role that makes clinical experience "strong" or "standout" or is it the amount of hours you put into it?
