NU 395 Transitions into Professional Nursing Practice

This clinically based immersion experience is focused on refining the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to manage care as part of an interprofessional team within a healthcare system. Theoretical learning becomes reality as students are clinically immersed to make connections between the standard case or situation that is presented in the classroom or laboratory setting in the constantly shifting reality of actual patient care. The experience supports objectives identified in the Senior Synthesis Seminar. Students demonstrate and utilize evidence-based research to support clinical judgment. The expectation is to analyze and reflect on experiences encountered during the clinical experience. Focus is on moving the student toward autonomous professional nursing practice within their clinical setting.
