INfo for LVN to BSN at indiana state university?

Summer nursing classes are typically upper level so far. ISU sets up the contract and gets a list of qualified candidates for your preceptor and then you are able to choose from these people. The Health Assessment class is the only one that you have to find a preceptor all on your own.

Hey guys,
I live in Illinois( Chicago area) and I am admitted into LPN/BSN for Fall 08. My first class with clinicals is going to be this Fall( Nurs 304). The only problem is that there is no Clinical site in my area. The only one is in Northwestern Hospital ( Arlington Heights) but the contract has being only initiated( since January). Yesterday I talked to Mark( the guy responsible for set up clinicals for students) and he told me to call a few places to ask if they will accept students and then he would initiated the process. Well, I called 8 places amd none of them wants students unless from a local CollegesSo, my next option is Val Paraiso, IN ( 2 hours ).
I am kind of desapointed because the clinicals are not found by the ISU, but fby students. We give them a contact number and then they initiated.
If I do not find a place closer, I will drive the extra miles for clinicals. That's crazy!
