Clinical Placement Support

Baylor University’s Louise Herrington School of Nursing believes you are only as successful as your training. That's why we will collaborate with you to identify and secure a quality placement site and preceptor for clinical rotations. This enables 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. 

Additionally, you may find clinical placement sites to be potential locations for future employment opportunities upon graduation. Learn more about Baylor's Clinical Placement Services here.
