Nursing courses include weekly clinicals at Legacy-Good Samaritan Hospital and Medical Center or at dozens of other clinical facilities in the community. Clinical experience includes over 1,000 hours and occurs in such areas as acute care settings, community clinics, private homes, schools and health departments. Four years of diverse clinical experience is capped with a Senior Practicum which is 84 hours of additional clinical practice taken during the last semester of the program. We try to match the student's preference for a work site with an appropriate clinical placement. Seniors work under supervision of a practicing RN and are guided through the experience by a nursing faculty member.
Many seniors pick specialties where they hope to be employed after graduation.
