Presentation to the Mid-Michigan Innovation Team Learning Communities February 5, 2008 The Issue - Nursing Clinicals Students are often faced with long waiting lists for clinicals. This wait list is often directly related to a lack of clinical sites for training. The result is a shortage of graduating nurses. Clinical scheduling is often a very time-consuming process that requires a significant amount of communication between hospitals, long-term care providers, training centers, colleges, and universities within a large region. Anywhere from 10 to as many as 50 organizations need to be communicating together to maximize the number of clinicals within their region. 2
