Clinical education
The UW School of Nursing places you in many different health care organizations and community sites throughout the Puget Sound region and beyond for hands-on clinical learning experiences.
Site requirements vary. Some sites require submitting personally identifying information, including health-related information and part or all of your social security number. The School of Nursing will assist students for whom this might pose a problem. Protecting the safety of our students and aiding their academic progression is our top priority.
If this raises a concern for you, steps can be taken to ensure equitable access to quality clinical learning experiences. For questions and assistance, please contact the Director of Student Academic Services, Patrick Tufford (ptufford@uw.edu).
