Introduction to the Integrated Practicum

The focus of the integrated practicum is on the synthesis and application of the core components of nursing and the transition from student to graduate nurse. Emphasis is on leadership, management of care, skilll development and professionalism.

The capstone clinical experience consists of 120 clock hours of concentrated direct patient care in a health care facility to be completed within a 7-week period during the final semester of the nursing program.

New Preceptors must complete the online orientation program and submit certificate of completion prior to precepting a student. The orientation also offers a great review for preceptors that have not participated in the practicum for two (2) semester.
