    StudentNurseMM replied to StudentNurseMM's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  20. Anyone work for a Western PA facility that could provide preceptorship?

    StudentNurseMM replied to StudentNurseMM's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I've already tried UPMC. They have turned me down for any type of preceptorship. Their reason was that they barely have time to train their own staff, they can't take on a student. I really...

    StudentNurseMM replied to Melody007_FNP-C's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You can always seek an "override" if you haven't had the exact pre-req course but have a sufficient background or a degree already. That's what I did for A&P1 at ccconline this summer. I had a...
