I am not sure what state you are in, but I talked to someone if the office she is supposed to be sending me some information. She said that in semester I & II you have to come to the campus 4 days each and it would more than likely be 2 weekends. She said that the first clinical is 160 hrs, 2nd 128 hrs, 3rd 96 hours, and you have to in minnesota then because you have to the clinicals at a local hospital.

Something you may want to ask about and consider...They do not mention in their accreditaion information anything about NLN accreditaion. This is not necessarily a problem especially if you are a Minnesota or North Dakota resident, as they are accredited in these states.

So you would do the clinicals locally and go to the campus each semester...hmmm sounds vaguely familiar. :uhoh3:

I don't quite understand the end of your post. Are you saying that you have to do clinicals in Minnesota or not?

I have requested more information on this program also. The website is not very informative.

Yes, you have to do clinicals in there. The lady that I spoke with said that most people just move down there while there are doing thier clinicals
