Public Health Nursing Clinical for California Residents (NRSE 4541)

[guest1107684]

Hello everyone,

I am currently a resident of Los Angeles County, California. Ohio University requires California licensed RN residing in California to take online Public Health Nursing Clinical which includes 90 clinical hours with a BSN prepared nurse. I contacted Los Angeles Department of Health Services regarding a request to establish an affiliation agreement with them. They responded by saying that they have affiliation agreements with 10 local universities, and only accept nursing students from them for their Community/Public Health Nursing practicum. I have also emailed five other counties, and expecting an email from them some time next week.

I am wondering how other students that live and practice in California fulfilled this requirement of the program and the process they went through. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I know this post is a few years old but did you have luck finding a public health clinical facility? I am thinking of doing the early start RN to BSN program at Ohio and I’m also worried about not finding a place. They said they could work on getting a partnership setup with a company asap but I’m not sure how that would work.

Thank you
