NURS 6467 - Adult Acute Care Practicum

Students work with a preceptor in an acute health care setting to integrate and synthesize knowledge about health & disease, research findings and an advanced knowledge of pharmacology and therapeutics and to apply this knowledge to the needs of patients and their families. Clinical conferences/seminars include discussion of the nurse practitioner and clinical nurse specialist role within the context of state and national health issues; presentation and analysis of clinical cases, and discussion of other clinical topics. Students also develop skills using simulation models.
