Full-time employment is considered to be no less than 32 hours of nursing services per week for a minimum of 45 weeks per year. At least 26 hours per week must be spent providing clinical services to patients.
Under certain circumstances, a Nursing Scholar may complete the service obligation on a part-time basis. Scholars wishing to serve part-time must obtain prior approval from the NSP and must agree to extend the service obligation to equal the full-time commitment.
For more information, see Fulfilling the Service Commitment (Applicant Information Bulletin).
