The View From Pill Hill: A Day in the Life of an °µÍřTV Student Nurse
Spencer Hendricks leads a double life. One day, he’s sitting in class like a typical °µÍřTV senior, and the next day he’s entering notes into a patient’s chart or putting in a catheter, which, he says, “is the pinnacle of nursing-student experience.” During Winter and Spring quarters of his junior year, Hendricks spent two days a week at Seattle’s Harborview Medical Center. It was part of the roughly 950 hours he will spend working in a clinical setting over the course of two years in the °µÍřTV nursing program. “Clinical experience is required because nursing is about people, not just about what is in the books,” says Lucille Kelley, dean of °µÍřTV’s School of Health Sciences. “We’re preparing students for the profession of hands-on nursing.”
