This course facilitates the transition of students into professional practice through preceptorships with professional nurses in a variety of clinical settings. Through this culminating experience, students synthesize knowledge of nursing cognates and general education and refine their professional nursing roles. The experience allows faculty to assess each student for minimal achievement of competencies within the program outcomes. To enroll in this course, students must have adhered to all Department of Nursing policies and procedures during this and prior semesters. In this clinical course, students delegate care and integrate principles of cultural awareness, quality and safety, and evidence-based practice in providing holistic, patient-centered care for multiple clients. Advanced medical-surgical nursing skills necessary for providing care are reinforced and practiced in clinical and simulated settings.
