Travel Expenses

During the school year, nursing students will be involved in clinical settings. Clinicals are normally secured by the College. Many of the affiliating facilities are not in the immediate Worcester area, so travel by public transportation or personal car and parking is necessary. The student will be responsible for any additional expenses, in addition to their uniforms.
