Nursing

Catalog description

The theoretical, clinical, and role components of care as delivered by the advanced student are implemented through an intensive supervised clinical practicum, which is the third practicum course in a series of three practicum courses that prepare the student for entry into practice as a nurse-midwife. Advanced professional clinical skills and evidence-based practice are applied in a variety of midwifery practice environments, including gender-based/women's health and care of newborns. Emphasis is on increased independence and decision-making as the student embraces the function, scope, and practice of nurse-midwifery. Prerequisite: NRSG 967 or Consent of Instructor.
