Rural Healthcare Focused
We are committed to rural healthcare education. If you are too, we will do our best to ensure you have rural clinic experiences. We cannot guarantee clinical site rotation locations. But we make an effort to place students from rural areas in their community if they desire to have a clinical rotation there.
Travel
Travel may be required for your concentration. FNP students, you are expected to travel for a minimum of two clinical rotations.
Travel times vary. You may travel 1 to 5 hours to a clinical site, which may require an extended overnight stay.
If covering these costs are an issue please reach out to our Financial Aid Officers to discuss options available to you.
Professional Documentation Requirements
Before starting your clinical experiences, you are required to complete and track all Professional Documentation Requirements. Find out what your requirements are.
