YES! Thank you for that info.. And your placements were each semester correct? One hospital per semester or did you have to go between the variations during the 16 weeks..? I figured it would be anywhere up and down the state but was curious if there was a method to placements based on campus locations so that student placement numbers would be organized between the sites.. RI is small enough of course,but I find myself stuck in the middle over here in Bristol as much as I enjoy the town.. 136 is a nightmare of traffic and lights that the other day I went to look at a place in Warwick and it took an hour. It even takes about 20 -30 mins to get to Newport but that is due to the portsmouth area being 25 miles an hour.. So I feel centrally located is best.. I actually would prefer the lincoln campus seems due to RIC/PC there are more options for affordable renting and its still central to Providence Hospitals; and the balance of work and life against the timing of the 4 semesters would suit me to start in Jan as I also need to work and am a single parent.. Child care facilities continue to surprise me with their hours of operation.. 8-4?? .. or something like that.. I mean where do all the health professionals bring their children when they work 7-3 or 7-7.. I guess they are all married and have someone at home or something.. I don't know I lived in Fla for 7 yrs and all the schools had child care (free for students during class time) and a huge majority of hospitals had on site child care facilities, open at night, for health care workers .. even if your child was sick you could bring them and come in for your shift (hence it is a hospital).. seems smart to me and in line with the current times of how families are today.. BUT I don't know if I want to take my chances and re apply in Aug. I don't belive they consider you were previously accepted.. or maybe? My GPA is high, but why press my luck it takes long enough the first time around.. Great thing is I work from home so essentially i can live anywhere... Orientation is in a couple of weeks.. I have already bought books and read and scoured the internet for videos/ lectures and those kinds of things for a while now just to have knowledge and insight ahead of time...

With regards to your situation, the first open application for the upcoming fall is held in Feb. The bulk of students who apply then are accepted (number wise). If there are still seats available then they will open another month up, which this time was June. And yes it takes a month. I found out late March I was accepted as I appled in Feb. Then in August the first open application for Spring start (Newport/Lincoln) is held and if seats are still available they hold another in October.

Hi all ! Congrats to everyone accepted! I have a curious question for any students that have started the program or finished. Is there a difference in clinical locations based on what campus you are accepted? I understand that each semester progresses to a different level so for example it would make sense to have all students do clinicals at Hasbro while learning pediatric.. But just generally speaking if you live in Newport are accepted to the Newport campus, would you do clinicals at Newport hospital? If you are in Warwick at the Warwick campus would you do clinicals at Kent? I have been accepted to Warwick this fall and I live in Bristol.. I have actually been flexible enough to consider moving to Warwick or surrounding areas in order to make life a bit simpler as Bristol is at min 30 min commute.. I have a 4 yr old that needs to change preschools due to his current one not being open early enough for me to consider commuting from Bristol and make it anywhere on time.. At the same time searching for rentals has become a thorn in my side, perhaps I am picky, but there seems to be soo many dumpy outdated attic type apartments for outrageous prices,even in places like pawtucket, CF, woonyville (not a fan) and then if I do find something, as a parent, I have to do a bunch of sex offender/criminal checks for that area and I wonder if it best to take my chances and re apply to Newport for Jan.. or possibly Lincoln if I am better suited to find affordable rentals in that area (johnston/smithfield.. ) ... Just looking for some insight on those already in what are they saying about clinicals is there a major difference between campuses? and any insight on rentals too
