·       We try to keep placements within a reasonable driving distance and provide placements at facilities that will provide the best learning experience possible. Please plan for placements to be in the Central Massachusetts area, or a minimum of 60 minutes driving distance from Worcester. In some cases, (especially in the Acute Care track) placements may be on the weekends, mornings or evenings, however in the Psychiatric Mental Health NP track placements are typically during business hours and weekdays. Students are not able to select their clinical placement location, and for most tracks the travel time is calculated from Worcester, not their home.

For the Psychiatric Mental Health NP track, especially the post-graduate track, closer-to-home placements are considered, including states neighboring Massachusetts.
