Yesterday, sixty nursing students began their clinical attachment at ERRH. The group consist of 30 third-year students from Apollo Bhutan Institute of Nursing and 30 first-year students from Arura Academy of Health Sciences accompanied by a supervisor. This is the first clinical placement for all the students at the ERRH.
To familiarize them with the new environment, the nursing team led by NS conducted a physical orientation, introducing the hospital’s structures, departments, wards, and units.
The officiating Deputy Chief ADMO, addressed the students and highlighted the importance of adhering to the hospital’s code of conduct and regulations. Additionally, the ward in-charges shared their experiences with previous student batches, offering guidance and corrective measures to help strengthen the students’ clinical learning journey.
The Nursing Superintendent further briefed the group on the hospital’s profile, infection control protocols, and medical waste management practices, along with other essential dos and don’ts.
Clinical attachments are an important part of nursing education, as they provide opportunities for students to apply their theoretical knowledge in real-life settings. Under the supervision of professionals and supervisors, students gain hands-on experience, develop clinical skills, and build confidence in caring for patients.
