FNP Across the Lifespan Practicum I

Catalog description

This is the first in a series of three clinical courses for the family nurse practitioner (FNP) student. Working with a preceptor students will use advance skills in patient history taking, performing physical assessments, and interpreting laboratory and other test results. Development of a plan of care with health promotion components is also expected. Students will work in practice settings that see patients across the lifespan to include: children, adolescents, women, men and older adults. Multiple clinical settings may be required; however, students must spend a minimum of 64 clock hours in each clinical setting and should have no more than two clinical settings per semester. 1 P = 64 clock hours of practicum. May be repeated up to 8 credits.
