Practical Nursing Clinicals

Hands-On Clinical Experience to Enhance Your Education

Students enrolled in the Practical Nursing program will need to complete their clinical rotations to satisfy program requirements. Individuals must comply with Community Partner expectations prior to placement. Although information changes fluidly, this provides the most up to date guidance for students to follow.
