Students will provide safe patient-centered, evidence-based nursing care for patients under the guidance of a registered nurse working in the community and supervised by the faculty liaison. The student will work on the day, evening or night shift, depending on the schedule of the assigned preceptor. Settings assigned may include acute care, sub-acute/post-acute care, rehabilitation nursing, surgical centers, hospice care, or other community settings. Learning experiences may be enhanced with clinical simulations and observation activities; in simulated lab experiences, the student will assist with running the simulation activity. Both NURS 96L and NURS 96 must be taken and passed concurrently within the same quarter (failure of either component requires both courses to be retaken).Usually HeldTue Wed 6:30am–1:20pm, Thu Fri 6:30am–1:20pm, Fri Sat 6:30am–1:20pm
