I know RN is a total of 4 years, but it’s simply not true that Clinicals usually only start in the last year. Maybe in the past, but nowadays it starts a lot sooner.

Depending on the nursing program—whether ADN, BSN, or accelerated—clinicals may begin as early as the first semester or as late as the second year.

And that still doesn’t disprove what I said about the availability of nursing jobs. I’m getting a bit tired of this moving of the goal posts.
