Professional Role Development for Nursing

Catalog description

This clinical immersion experience facilitates the integration of nursing knowledge, clinical reasoning, leadership, and professional role behaviors as students transition into the role of the professional registered nurse. Working in partnership with a preceptor and under faculty supervision, students synthesize concepts from biological, behavioral, and clinical sciences to design, deliver, and evaluate evidence-based, equitable, and person-centered care. Students engage in interprofessional practice, emphasizing clinical judgment, quality improvement, and leadership for health equity. Reflection is used to advance professional identity, ethical comportment, and accountability for outcomes across levels of care.
