Clinical rotations
SPU’s nursing program is intensively hands-on. As a student, you’ll begin clinical practice during your first quarter of the nursing program and continue every quarter until you graduate. In the final quarter of your senior year, you’ll work on your assessment skills — the ability to gather information about a client or community’s health status. You’ll improve nursing and technical skills, so you can deliver stellar nursing care. And ultimately you’ll learn to teach, delegate, and supervise the skilled tasks performed by other health care team members.
Clinical rotations are varied and provide you with a wide array of experiences. Located just minutes from downtown Seattle, SPU maintains valuable partnerships to facilitate your learning within hospitals, schools, clinics, community agencies, and professional organizations throughout the city. In fact, we have working relationships with more than 150 practice partners.
