Incoming undergraduate students make their match during USF Nursing Match Day event
More than 115 incoming USF Bull Nurses from University of South Florida College of Nursing were matched to their clinical teams for Fall 2013 during the College’s Orientation/Match Day event on July 19, 2013. The new nursing students were assigned to their clinical collaborative partner, a local hospital system, for their clinical rotations.
“This is a very exciting day for the incoming nursing students and for us (the faculty),” said Brittny D. Chabalowski, RN, MSN, CEN, CNE, CHSE, Instructor, Program Director, Upper Division/2nd Degree Nursing Sequence, Coordinator, Undergraduate Simulation. “Students are matched to their clinical collaborative partner. This will be their new ‘home away from home’ while they are in nursing school. Having consistent facility placement is a win-win for our students and our clinical collaborative partners. The students become very familiar with their facility so they can focus on learning rather than orienting to multiple clinical sites. They are also immersed in the culture of the facility which makes for an easy transition from nursing student to hospital employee.”
