They can be EXTREMELY difficult to get. Many times I see it is all about who you know. I have done my CNS/LVN/ADN and each one had a mention or "undertone" of don't piss of the clinical site or we could easily lose the site!
I was in the first cohort of a new ADN program so I watched the sites all of a sudden change over night. I have a couple Dr friends who offered up a clinical site at their wound clinics to help with some experience. My program declined them stating they needed legitimate hospitals, both are within hospitals. I didn't bother to clarify since their attitude about my friends offers offended me.
Another student had a great hookup for Kaiser but they were kinda rude to her when she brought it up

Hello! I am wondering if clinical sites are hard to get these days. I attend an accredited ASN program in Indiana and the school has had some trouble finding some sites. Especially for Med Surg 2 and OB. An unaccredited LPN program has better sites then we do. We have a couple long term care sites which is fine but I feel like we need more acute care clinicals. Any opinions about this? Thanks.
