Washington Center for Nursing Clinical Placement Initiative

WCN is looking for state-wide stakeholders to join our Clinical Placement Initiative. This Initiative aims to transform clinical placement opportunities for nursing programs in Washington State.

 

In the 2021-2022 Annual Education Survey, 52% of pre-licensure programs in Washington indicated inadequate availability of clinical sites for their programs.

 

“Clinical site availability is the largest challenge to expanding our program enrollment, and site availability for the students we do have is at maximum capacity already.” -WA Nursing Education Program

 

Your input is needed to revolutionize clinical training, diversify learning experiences, and overcome barriers for nursing students and clinical programs!

 

Who should join this Initiative?

► All nursing education programs

► Any healthcare facility

► Any organization that offers (or could potentially offer) clinical placement opportunities in WA State

► Any clinical placement stakeholder in WA State
