According to the Ohio BON website:

"Clinical Hours. The Rules do not require a specific minimum number of clinical hours inprograms. However, Rule 4723-5-13©(4), OAC for professional (RN) programs, and Rule 4723-5-14©(5), OAC for practical nursing programs, describe the expected parameters and outcomes for clinical experience and state in relevant part:

Includes clinical and laboratory experiences which shall:

(a) Meet the established course objectives or outcomes;

(b) Provide a nursing student with the opportunity to practice cognitive,

psychomotor, and affective skills in the performance of a variety of nursing

functions with individuals or groups across the life span; and

© Be provided concurrently with the related theory instruction."
