Professional Nursing Practicum ((2))

Catalog description

Integration and demonstration of prior nursing course content into professional nursing practice through completion of clinical practicum hours. Faculty select, with student input, a clinical agency for an advanced clinical experience with a preceptor. Students advance core clinical reasoning and judgment abilities to identify cues, establish priorities, implement interventions, and evaluate outcomes using evidence-based practice principles. Students continue to develop self-reflection and self-care strategies to support personal well-being and professional practice. Students will apply all nursing roles (clinician, educator, researcher, and leader) through clinical expertise and evidence-based practice; emphasis is on the leader and clinician roles culminating in the demonstration of readiness for independent practice.
