Flu Shots Offered by Your School???

Just curious if anyone's school is offering flu shots for student nurses?

How about the hospital where you're doing clinicals?

Our school hasn't said a word about it and when someone asked our clinical instructor, she said it was "up to us" if we wanted one. I called the hospital where I do clinicals and it seemed like no one had EVER brought it up to them before.

Am I nuts to think our school should organize something for student nurses?

I'm having a very difficult time finding a place to get one. Either they're out, they're booked or they tell me I can expect to wait hours in line and still may not get one. With my crazy schedule, I don't have hours to spend waiting for anything.

I'm willing to pay for the shot, although, I'll bet some student nurses can't afford it.

Any thoughts?

Yes! And the students got to give each other the flu shot in lab last week. It was great. =)
