Students will be assigned patients in the clinical settings based on the concepts covered in the current or previous courses. Students will not be expected to provide nursing care for conditions which have not yet been covered in the coursework to that date. Clinical hours may include days, evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays. Transportation is the responsibility of the student.
