I agree that Nursing Programs in Virginia should not be limited to clinical hours outside of Virginia, especially if they are in range (50 miles) of the Nursing Program. For example Sentara Albemarle Medical Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina is 39 miles from our program in Chesapeake., Virginia. There is an increase in Nursing programs in Chesapeake and a decrease in available sites, this would resolve some clinical availability issues we currently are facing in Chesapeake, Virginia.
Please eliminate Clinical hours limitations outside of Virginia for Nursing Programs.
