I have been on the phone all day with long term care facilities in the Western PA area and have yet to find one willing to allow me to do 216 hours under an RN preceptor next spring (2006) for my practical nursing program.
I'm taking the Deaconess College of Nursing web based program so I can get my PN license. I have already secured all other contracts for clinical time (OB/PEDs) etc. However, I didn't think it would be this difficult to find a long term care facility. Although I don't need this contract until next January, I have to get them secured now.
If any of you live in the Western PA area and know that your facility has preceptored students before, please let me know. Or if you have any other ideas for me, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Marci
PS. I have already been turned down by hospitals all over Western PA, so those won't work.
