Graduate Nursing Student Resources

Practicum/clinical placement is arranged for all students admitted to the programs. Placement occurs in designated regional clinical affiliate sites.

The State of Minnesota and our clinical agencies require proof of background checks, liability insurance, and other requirements for enrollment in all clinical courses, including DNP Scholarship project courses.

Admitted students are required to provide the following documentation. You will maintain and track clinical documentation in a Typhon account subscription, which is an additional education expense.
