Clinical Placement Support

Baylor University’s Louise Herrington School of Nursing believes you are only as successful as your training, which is why we will collaborate with you to identify clinical sites and preceptors for clinical rotations. This will enable you to focus on coursework and developing core competencies rather than spending a significant amount of time on the logistics of clinical placements. However, if you already have a placement site or preceptor in mind, students are encouraged to refer them to the placement team to secure. 

Many of our students find clinical placement sites to be potential locations for future employment opportunities upon graduation.

Additionally, our faculty and staff are accessible; you may reach out at any time directly to your instructors to get the additional support you need.
