DNP Student Rural Clinical Rotations
With support from the Premera Foundation, the UW Rural Nursing Health Initiative (RNHI) invites DNP students who are interested in rural primary care practice to learn the advanced practice nursing role in a rural setting in Washington state!
DNP STUDENT CLINICAL APPLICATION – CLOSED DNP STUDENT APPLICATION DETAILS
Matched students receive a $10,000 stipend to defray living expenses during this training/learning experience. Recipients must commit to a clinical rotation in an approved rural clinical site, as assigned by their program’s Clinical Placement Coordinator, for the duration of the quarter or semester, in accordance with the program’s required clinical hours. Please note that the rural clinical placement may require overnight travel within Washington state and the recipients is responsible for all travel-related costs (i.e. lodging, food, gas, airfare, etc…). Rural clinical sites that host UW Premera funded students also receive a $4,000 stipend per student placement.
The UW Premera RNHI Grant is no longer accepting applications; 80 stipends were awarded to DNP students from 6 universities across the state, to complete rural clinical rotations in these and other locations:
