    Description
    This course integrates concepts of safe and effective nursing care for individuals and groups of patients across the lifespan. It is designed to facilitate integration of knowledge, evidence-based practice, and clinical judgment in the management of patients with complex healthcare needs, and to facilitate the student's transition into the profession of nursing. Clinical judgment skills are enhanced through advanced clinical experiences and role transition opportunities. The clinical experience is designed to facilitate the development and demonstration of the core competencies of clinical practice: communication, leadership, patient- centered care, professionalism, safety, teamwork and collaboration, evidence-based practice, informatics and technology, and quality improvement. Emphasis in clinical is placed on evidence-based practice, quality improvement, team collaboration concepts, managing care for groups of patients, the role of the nurse in a systems based practice, interprofessional collaboration, legal precepts, and health policy. The course consists of the following hours: theory 81, applied theory 199, clinical hours 125 and out of course work 164. Applied theory refers to the utilization of theoretical concepts in real-world situations or practical settings. This approach bridges the gap between theory and practice, allowing for the effective application of theoretical knowledge to real-life situations.
