Nursing Students
Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFG) provides a learning experience for various levels of nursing students.
Please note: Students cannot be placed on the ZSFG campus without first executing a MOU (Memorandum of Understanding), which is an agreement for Use of Facilities for Clinical Experience between the school and San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH). Establishing an Agreement does not guarantee a placement opportunity within ZSFG.
At present, ZSFG is NOT able to accommodate any new RN, NP, & PA affiliation.
