Where are your clinicals?

[peppapig123]

I spoke to someone at a school today about their lpn program and I asked about their clinical sites. They said they're mostly in nursing homes. Now I know in most areas lpn's are mainly employed in ltc facilities, but I was under the impression that LPN programs had clinicals at hospitals too. Was I wrong? where were your clinicals located? Is that a sign of a bad program?

We do ours at the city hospitals

First quarter was a LTC/rehab facility. Second quarter is clinics and urgent care. And third quarter only the top 8 go to the VA hospital. The rest go to more clinics and LTC.

if you intend to work in an ltc institution after graduating this school will be good for you, but if you prefer to work in a hospital setting then you better find a school who has their trainingheld in hospitals to give you more proper training and hospital exposures...
