Quote from llg
Just a word of caution ... It can be very difficult to get access to a practice setting to complete a practicum (or capstone project) if you are not an employee there. If you are unemployed, you may have to search high and low to find a place to accept you as a student. With so many nurses in school, many of the best potential clinical sites are overwhelmed with requests from students for preceptorships, etc. Those who already work in a facility usually have an advantage.
Which is why you can use an organization, and not necessarily a practice setting in order to do your research. I did this and it worked VERY well.
