The splitting is accurate in my experience too, though it’s still more than I’ve gotten for peds and gerontology. In my program we get either peds or maternity, not both, and the community health “clinical” was us packing medical equipment in a warehouse… Was med surg 2 considered high acuity? I’m in a BSN program as well. I definitely have my gripes with it, but I graduate this year so it’s almost over.

I did home health for my community health rotation and then my med surg 2 clinical was with a group of us for 1/2 the semester and then a preceptorship for the 2nd half, which was great because I was able to set a goal (carry a full assignment) and I was 1:1 with an experienced RN. A lot of the people in my program preferred to travel up to Dartmouth for their clinicals but I found I had better experiences at the smaller community hospitals.

Edit to say that my med surg one was on a skilled unit in a nursing home.
