Project Based Preceptor Leadership Experience

Catalog description

This clinically oriented project-based precepted leadership experience provides the framework whereby students demonstrate the skills needed to conduct initiatives required as an educator in academic and/or practice environments. Precepted leadership experiences enable the student to collect and analyze data and to utilize evidence-based practice principles in the identification and application of strategies to meet the educational needs of nurses or of undergraduate students. There will be a focus on an area of clinical practice expertise. The course emphasizes intra and interdisciplinary work including consultation, collaboration and partnership development. Course faculty mentor students and discuss progress in their precepted learning experience. Application of the concepts, strategies and role learned in prereqs specialty core courses serve as the foundation for this experience. In addition, all students will explore the role of technology in nursing education including concepts and applications of topics such as simulation, (e.g. including development of case story and debriefing), design of Blackboard (and other e-platforms), development of e-portfolio, and other futuristic applications using technology for nursing education. This course will have a residency requirement of 60 hours in the simulation labs at the University.
