Re: Car for Nursing school?
I don't think people carpool to clinical much, just because of logistics. As far as taking the bus, it depends on where you live. I've been able to walk or take the bus to all of the clinical sites I've had so far. (I didn't always take the bus, but I could have easily). If you live near bus routes like the 20 that go by lots of hospitals you'd be okay, but if you have to transfer you'd probably have to leave so early it would cut into your sleep. Also, mental health clinical sites seem to be pretty spread out, so unless you get Denver Health or the VA you might not able to take the bus to that clinical. You could probably ask your clinical placement people whether they will take your carless status into account and try to give you sites you can get to by bus or bike when they are available. If they will work with you then it might work. Depending on where I have my next clinical I may ride my bike when the days get longer, just so I get SOME exercise.
