I recently moved from N.J. to the wonderful state of N.C. Prior to my move I started the lpn-bsn online program at ISU. Well now it is time for clinical and I can not find any facility in the Triad area that is willing to let me do my clinical hours. I have never worked in N.C and I know very few people- we have only been here since Sept. Any suggestions or advice would be very, very much appreciated. The deadline is approaching soon and at 40 years old I am not willing to waste any more time!!!!

Hmm - how about contacting ISU and see if they have any suggestions.?

One of the many things I have done. They suggested I make the 12 hour trip to Indiana and I could do the clinical there. Not exactly the way the College Network presented the program to me. They told me they would find me a clinical location.

You could try Duke University Hospital in Durham.

Hi,
Sorry I can't help you with your question..but just wanted to let you know that I am an LPN from NJ also and I will be moving to Greenville, NC in a couple of months....It is a beautiful state....how do like it so far? I have 2 cousins living there and they just love it...can't wait to move...I am a little anxious though, about finding a job there...I know they pay less than here, I am expecting that, but I just wonder about the pay scale..anyway Congrats to you and Good Luck!!

Contact the state board of nursing for NC and get their input on your options. I would not hold my breath expecting a workable solution that will not require lots of extra effort on your part. Good luck.

Let me suggest you post also in the distance learning forum.

Also contact the NC Nurses Association. They may have information about someone who does this for distance learners.
