Students

UHN provides approximately 1000 clinical placements for nursing students annually and welcomes students from local nursing programs as well as students from universities across North America and around the world.

Clinical experiences take place in a wide variety of settings including in-patient tertiary care, ambulatory clinics and short stay units. Placements in specialty areas such as Intensive Care Units, Emergency Departments, Operating Rooms, and Nursing Informatics are available to a very small number of students. This usually means that placements in these specialty settings are offered to students from local colleges and universities first, and to students from out-of-town universities only after all local requests have been fulfilled.

** ATTENTION All Nursing Students with confirmed placements for Spring & Summer!! **
Please contact Velta Vikmanis by email at Velta.Vikmanis@uhn.ca or by phone 416-340-4800 x-5083 for details concerning placement details and other requirements. There is no formal orientation scheduled for the spring and summer semester. Individual or small group meetings will be scheduled to ensure that everyone has the information that is needed prior to beginning clinical hours. Thank you and have a great semester!
