Capstone - Lab

Course Description

This lab accompanies the course Capstone Theory and provides students with an opportunity to integrate previously learned nursing concepts necessary for transition to professional nursing practice. Students participate in supervised clinical experiences. Students will each be assigned a nurse preceptor and will provide nursing care to a group of clients and their families. Clinical learning assists the student in developing knowledge and skills necessary to manage care as part of an interprofessional team. Simulation experiences are used to augment clinical learning. Appropriate prioritization, delegation, and communication skills will be practiced and evaluated in the clinical setting as students prepare for the transition to an independent nursing practice. Students will also gain a perspective of how to manage and care for multiple clients in health care settings based on a preceptor model. Development of clinical reasoning, management, and evaluation skills are also stressed to prepare the student for transition to practice. Corequisite: 57:705:419.
