This course is designed to provide the student, under the direction of the clinical faculty, with a concentrated select clinical nursing practice experience. Students complete 120 hours in the clinical setting. Students gradually assume increased levels of clinical responsibilities in the transition toward entry into practice. Components of professionalism (competency, legal, ethical, political and economic issues) and critical thinking are incorporated throughout this course to enable students to integrate clinical and leadership theory into practice. The student must receive a satisfactory clinical evaluation in order to receive a passing grade for this course.
