NURS 4650 - Capstone Clinical

This course guides student transition to the role of professional nurse. Working collaboratively with a professional nurse preceptor, students synthesize acquired knowledge to deliver quality, patient-centered, evidence-based care. Students will complete 120 hours of immersive clinical with an assigned preceptor in a designated capstone setting. The remaining clinical hours may be completed through one of three pathways: • Students may remain in the assigned capstone setting and continue to work with the assigned preceptor • Students may remain in the assigned capstone setting and continue to work with an alternate preceptor (based on facility needs) • Students may complete hours as a nurse apprentice with a Utah state-granted temporary Registered Nurse Apprentice license, in accordance with the policies of the hiring organization (hours must be in the RN role, with direct supervision of an RN).
