Hey guys I'm starting the May 2025 cohort and I'm super excited! Classes start in about a month and I'm soooo nervous. Would love to get the input of past students or even meet current students of my cohort or others. 🙂

Are you currently working at the hospitals , where they are placing you for clinical? Thats what the advisor told me to; as she said hospitals will only allow clinical placements if we are already employed there:(

So yes I was but there are a lot of students that started at the hospital and they were able to get a contract that way.

Thanks! 
They provided me with a few hospital options, but I'm having difficulty securing a part-time job since the hospitals prefer a commitment of at least a year.

I'd suggest if you can get into any of them do it! Even if you quit after finishing the program there's no obligation. You just have to secure your spot by getting there. Again though I have classmates that were not at the hospitals connected with the school but were still able to secure a spot. Are you working at a hospital? Also are you willing to move?

I am not able to move because of personal reasons. But if I can get a placement by getting into any of them , then that will be awesome and I am not  currently working as I was completing my remaining prerequisites. 
Moreover, I am volunteering at one of the hospitals but she said no to that one.
