Nursing Student Clinical Placements 

A national webinar addressing Nursing Student Clinical Placements was sponsored by the National FORUM of State Nursing Workforce Centers and the Health Workforce Technical Assistance Center, and was facilitated by Marcia B. Proto, M.Ed, CAS, Executive Director for The Connecticut Center for Nursing Workforce, Inc. on May 31, 2023.
 
The interactive discussion centered around the barriers and challenges to securing clinical placements for nursing students; identification of solutions being implemented to address these challenges; and potential funding sources within each state to provide the needed resources to minimize the barriers to expand the number of nursing student clinical placements.
 
National leaders shared their experiences and perspectives related to initiatives being implemented within their respective states.
