Before you Begin

You must be approved by your college or university to do your clinical rotation or practicum at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital. Clinical rotations and practicum are approved only if they are done as part of your nursing program.

Once approved by your school, the school representative must request placement in CCPS for any nursing rotation or contact our Education Program/Internship Specialist by email at studentplacement@nicklaushealth.org for any Practicum rotations.

All students requesting to rotate  at Nicklaus Children's Hospital must be enrolled in a credit program with an affiliated institution (see our affiliated institutions).

After Approval is Confirmed

Nicklaus Children's Hospital and Health System employees are not able to do their rotations in the same department/center they currently work or during scheduled work hours. They must also follow all student requirements.
