What would be a good way to deliver post-conference information to a group of students, who just spent 12 hours on the nursing unit and are exhausted, and keep them engaged?

Hi Dr. Meers! The group spends 5 contact hours/week in lecture, which I'm not a part of; they spend 12 hours/week in clinical with me. This time is spent on a Medical Surgical Unit of a hospital. But there just seems to be a great deal of down time, more than I'm used to at my hospital. So I was trying to think of little activities we could do as a class to keep their minds stimulated during this down time. Thank you for your response. Shannon

I'm a brand new clinical instructor teaching on a medical surgical floor in a hospital! There seems to be a lot of down time on the floor. I try to come up with things to do to fill the time! But I am having a hard time doing this for 10 hours. Then afterwards, we need to have an hour of post conference. Does anyone have any ideas that are exciting and enhance learning? Thank you!
