Senior Practicum

Catalog description

Senior Practicum is a preceptorship experience for senior nursing students at an assigned healthcare setting. The preceptorship experience is based on the model from the National Council State Board of Nursing Transitions to Practice so as to help students prepare for the transition to professional practice. Clinical practice provides the opportunity to synthesize knowledge and demonstrate diagnostic reasoning, critical decision-making and delegation. Engaged ethical and clinical reasoning occurs with student’s involvement in the management of adult, family, and groups in complex clinical healthcare situations with expert nurse partners and faculty. Prerequisite(s): NU 323 and NU 315 and NU 324 and NL 323 and NL 315 and NL 324 .
