At Case Western Reserve University, we don’t just talk about real-world learning—we live it. Clinical experience is at the heart of our nursing program, and we make sure you get more than most: over 1,000 hours, almost twice the national average, starting right from your first semester.
Why so much hands-on practice? Because that’s where you grow into a confident nurse. When you work with real patients and families, you become a more compassionate caregiver. When you join healthcare teams on the job, you learn how professionals collaborate to deliver the best care.
Immersing yourself in real nursing practice doesn’t just build skills—it launches your career as a healthcare leader. Clinical experience is what sets you apart, transforming you from student to true caregiver. It’s the foundation for every success that comes next. And at CWRU, it starts in your first semester.
