Due to the extremely large number of nurse practitioner students requesting rotations, please note that we are unable to fulfill all requests we receive. NP students attending in-state schools will receive first priority. Requests for in-state students will be filled in the order requests are received. Again we do not have the capacity to fill all requests received!
Out of State Students
- Students attending out-of-state schools should note placements are first scheduled for students attending in-state schools. If available, housing is $75 a week
- Students from out-of-state academic programs seeking clinical rotations, please contact our one of our HPS coordinators for help with a placement. Columbia Housing is $75 a week for ALL students, including out-of-state AND in-state students
