3 semester hours @ 3 hours each=116 patient care hours. An additional 10 hours is required for seminar time. Focuses on the cumulative synthesis of nursing knowledge, skills, and caring approaches to transition into a professional baccalaureate-nursing role within an interdisciplinary, population-based model of care. Practicum clinical experiences within the region enable students to practice leadership and management skills while working with members of the health care team. The practicum is an immersion experience in which the student has the opportunity to practice the role of an entry-level baccalaureate nurse under the guidance of faculty and the direct supervision of an experienced clinician. Seminars are held to examine issues facing entry-level practitioners, such as ethical challenges, role transition, team building, conflict management, delegation, population-based care and community outreach, along with cost and quality outcomes in health care.
