NU 680 Clinical Nurse Leader Role Practicum
This is the first course in the nursing sequence for the clinical nurse leader role practicum, providing the opportunity for in-depth analysis of the CNL role within various healthcare settings and specialties through a guided role immersion practicum experience. Integration of prior coursework related to advanced assessment and pathophysiology, pharmacology, information systems, ethics, research, evidence-based practice, and healthcare systems occurs through clinical role practice, case studies, and student presentations. A team of preceptors provide guidance and support as CNL students identify and enact the role components of the CNL role while analyzing the organizational context for this new role.
