Transportation and Travel to Clinical Sites
Students must provide their own transportation to clinical sites and ground campus location as required. The OFE is dedicated to assisting students in securing clinical placements. If OFE assistance is requested and the student meets the requirements, OFE will make efforts to follow up on your preferences to secure clinical placements close to where you work or live, but the student may have to travel out of the city and within the state they reside or work. The OFE, in conjunction with clinical sites, will attempt to minimize the distance that students travel to their clinical experience, but sometimes additional travel is unavoidable. We know attending clinicals can be challenging, but rest assured, the student learning experience is a valuable one that will guide your future as a well-prepared professional. Travel time is not an appropriate reason to deny a clinical placement. Additionally, Traveling nurses should ensure their student address is updated to reflect the location in which clinical experiences will take place.
