Planning for clinical requirements

Most nursing programs include supervised clinical experience in approved healthcare settings. Even when coursework is online, students may need to complete clinical hours, skills assessments, or other requirements in person.

  • Ask how the school arranges or approves clinical placements
  • Confirm whether travel or schedule flexibility will be required
  • Understand all clinical, background-check, vaccination, and documentation requirements before enrolling
