Good clinical sites! Some schools will have you do everything at a community hospital, while others will have you at all kinds of facilities.

The broad range of clinical experiene I received (everything from a women's shelter to post-transplant care and interventional radiology at a huge, well-respected teaching hospital) helped me see "the bigger picture" of nursing... wouldn't trade it for anything!

In California you would apply to ANY nursing school within a 60 miles radius and PRAY that you were accepted into one of them!
