What students say about their placements

Twelve reviews from students we placed, written after their final evaluation.

★★★★★Three preceptors I found on my own were turned down by my school. Practicum Council asked for my handbook before anything else, and the fourth name went through the first time.
A. Whitaker, FNP student, Indiana
★★★★★My program wanted a field instructor two years past licensure, and it checks. Caroline knew one in Columbus whose paperwork my school had already accepted.
J. Castellanos, MSW student, Ohio
★★★★★I wanted telehealth, and my handbook caps remote hours. Dr. Samuel R. split my rotation between a clinic and a telehealth group so every hour counted.
R. Okafor, PMHNP student, Illinois
★★★★★Hospital units ask for a long list of clearances. Olivia had mine collected and dated before orientation, so my first shift was a shift and not a paperwork day.
L. Brennan, AGACNP student, Michigan
★★★★☆My project site wanted a data-use agreement on top of the affiliation form. Nathan drafted both; one signature took an extra week, and I heard why every Friday.
D. Marchetti, DNP student, Wisconsin
★★★★★My state board counts supervision differently from my program. They planned my internship against the board's count, the higher of the two.
S. Nakamura, CMHC student, Minnesota
★★★★★Administration internships are hard to find as an online student. They placed me with a hospital operations director forty minutes from home.
T. Ferreira, MHA student, Kentucky
★★★★★Grant's Friday update was the most useful email I got all term: hours logged, forms out, what came due next.
M. Lindqvist, PMHNP student, Missouri
★★★★★My leadership practicum needed a nurse manager with a master's. They had three in Austin, and I picked the one that fit my shift schedule.
P. Delgado, MSN Leadership student, Texas
★★★★★Family-therapy supervisors who take students are few. They found one whose approval my program already had on file.
E. Haverford, MFT student, North Carolina
★★★★★The capstone asked for community hours with a public health nurse. Caroline set it up with a county office that had taken students from my school before.
K. Osei, BSN student, Georgia
★★★★☆My applied practice site changed supervisors in week four. They logged the change and refiled the form that week, so no hours were lost.
I. Sandoval, MPH student, Colorado
