Clinical Placements
ETSU offers LPN to BSN clinicals in the following geographic regions:
Northeast Tennessee (e.g., Johnson City)
East Tennessee (e.g., Knoxville, Sevierville, Crossville)
Middle Tennessee (e.g., Nashville, Columbia, Manchester)
Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC employees only)
**Clinical placements outside the state of Tennessee are not possible.Every effort will be made to place students in clinical rotations closest to their permanent residence. However, this placement cannot be guaranteed. Significant travel to and from clinical sites, including overnight stays, may be required. Any travel cost associated with clinical will be incurred at the student’s expense.
Please plan ahead as there is a strong possibility that clinicals will fall on weekends, including 12-hour days on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Please also note that clinical placement may change based on clinical site availability and continuous progression in the program.
