NU 394 Transition into Prof. Nursing Practice AC
A. This senior level capstone course is focused on the holistic delivery of professional nursing practice in the contemporary clinical setting. The clinically based immersion experience affords the students and opportunity to refine 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 synthesize and reflect on their learning and experiences of the various roles and responsibilities of a professional nurse while being immersed in the clinical setting. Through this course, 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. This course is offered in the accelerated format for second degree accelerated students.
