Description
4 Credit Hour(s)
This comprehensive clinical course is the culmination of the baccalaureate nursing curriculum, integrating broad liberal education, nursing knowledge, technical skills, and core Christian worldview values in preparation of a professional career in a changing 21st century health care environment. The course combines a preceptorship (a one on one apprenticeship with a working registered nurse in a clinical or community setting) with reflective development. Students develop their own outcomes with guidance from their professor and preceptor. The preceptorship immersion experience provides opportunities to practice clinical reasoning, management and leadership theories, and evaluative skills within a diverse patient, family, and community health care environment across the lifespan. This clinical experience will integrate interdisciplinary and evidence based care supporting clinical judgments necessary for transition into professional practice.
