The BSN program and the pre-RN portion of the GEPN are foundations for basic nursing competence. You will gain essential clinical experiences to meet state board requirements, including a variety of clinical skills, patient care experiences, and decision-making skills. Your clinical placements may be in many different settings, including:
Your patients mirror society and you may care for individuals and families, infants through the elderly, individuals with acute, chronic and mental illnesses, patients able to afford health care and those without means to take care of themselves.
Clinical placements are arranged within the greater Seattle area including metropolitan Seattle, King, Snohomish and Pierce counties. Transportation to your clinical site is your responsibility. You may use your own car, public transportation, or carpool with other students in your group. Clinical days usually begin at 7 a.m at the site for hospital placements; other placements may have variable hours. The majority of our clinicals are scheduled during daytime hours. Late afternoon or evening clinicals will be announced to students via e-mail before placements are made. Please keep clinical days available between the hours of 7 a.m. through 6 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
