   No tips if you are doing in on campus. But I heard from another student I work with that it was great having the class on campus. They really work with all the students. Good atmosphere.

   Norik95, Yes finding preceptors is a challenge!! My advice is to find them early and book them for each rotation, it is difficult and one little snag can affect your class/clinical line up if you are trying to complete them in the 12 month time frame...

   Debs17, You need a total of 45 clinical hours. The online assessment course is ok, again I think I would have learned a lot more from the on campus opportunity. However, I know that is not an option for you either. The challenging part with ...

   Yes, you need to average 16 hrs a week. It cannot be condensed. But I am sure if you had 1-2 weeks with three days they would accept that. My clinical days are averaging from 0800-1700.
