Students are required to provide their own transportation to clinical placements and to the work experience mentorship. Due to confidentiality issues and the requirements of travelling from one home to another during home care placements, students are unable to have others drive them to sites. Shift work is an integral part of this occupation. Physical demands include moving and lifting others as well as spending long periods of time on one's feet. Emotional demands include frequent stressful and occasional emergency situations.
Some clinical placements require current immunization.
