Practicum: Family Nurse Practitioner and Role Development

Catalog description

First of three practicum experiences where students function in the role of the family nurse practitioner. Supported by preceptor supervision and faculty guidance, students use evidence-based guidelines and standards of care to gain competencies in the areas of advanced health assessment, differential diagnosis, health promotion and disease prevention, and management of low to medium complexity acute and chronic presentations across the lifespan. Emphasis also is placed on developing therapeutic relationships with individuals, families, and interprofessional skills among health care colleagues.
