Clinical Experiences

At ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ, clinical education is a cornerstone of the nursing program—designed to prepare students for the full scope of today’s complex healthcare environment. What sets ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ apart is the diverse range of clinical experiences available through our unique location: a rural setting with close proximity to large healthcare systems.

Our students gain hands-on experience in a wide variety of clinical environments, including:

  • Community Hospitals

  • Rural, Critical-Access Hospitals

  • Tertiary, Level 1 Trauma Academic Medical Centers 

  • Public Health Departments

  • Community Health Centers

  • Mental Health and Behavioral Health Agencies

  • K-12 Schools and Educational Settings

This combination of rural and urban clinical placements ensures that ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ nursing students are exposed to a broad spectrum of patient populations, healthcare systems, and practice settings. Whether caring for individuals in small, close-knit communities or working within high-acuity hospital systems, students are prepared to deliver high-quality, culturally responsive, and evidence-based care.

In addition to real-world clinical placements, students sharpen their skills in our state-of-the-art simulation laboratory. Simulation experiences allow students to practice clinical judgment, technical skills, and communication in a safe, supportive, and realistic learning environment—bridging the gap between classroom instruction and direct patient care.

By the time they graduate, ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ nursing students are confident, adaptable, and ready to transition into any area of nursing practice they choose. Our clinical education model ensures graduates are not only well-prepared, but also well-rounded and highly sought after by employers across the healthcare continuum.
