Description

This Capstone course focuses on the integration and synthesis of theory and practice across the lifespan and health care settings. Included in this course is an intense 123 hr. (15 8—hour shifts or 10 12—hour shifts) clinical experience, which emphasizes the transition from the role of student nurse to that of a graduate professional nurse. The healthcare settings that are used for this experience cross population health groups and provide an opportunity for students to apply knowledge, refine skill, integrate relevant nursing research, collaborate with members of the interdisciplinary healthcare team, evaluate personal/professional development in this transitional process and initiate a plan for self-growth. (8 credits: 5 classroom hours/9 clinical hours/week)
