11.11 Clinical Agencies

Overview

University of Northwestern - St. Paul’s School of Nursing endeavors to provide students with broad opportunities for clinical experiences in different agencies and/or simulations reflecting the diversity in the contemporary health care setting. Clinical sites (cooperating agencies) have been secured to provide a variety of experiential learning opportunities for students at all levels of the program. Faculty members select and guide all learning experiences. Health care agencies cooperate with the School of Nursing in providing facilities for the education of students.  

Clinical facilities will determine, in conjunction with the School of Nursing clinical site locations, specific days and assigned times of student placements for clinical assignments. Last minute changes in clinical placements and/or schedules may occur. Students will need to remain flexible and accommodating to all said changes that may arise while enrolled in the BSN program.   

Clinical hours may be scheduled during morning, afternoon, evening, overnight or weekend hours according to student learning needs, faculty schedule, and clinical agency requirements, as well as the availability of meaningful learning experiences.
