The final semester includes a practicum experience which includes skills assessment and evaluation, clinical documentation review/evaluation, communication with patients/families, facilitating individual/group discussions about patient outcomes/quality improvement projects and communicating outcomes with appropriate partners/collaborators.

While many aspects of a healthcare system are important to understand, being knowledgeable in all areas is required for successful practice.

For this reason we have included a unique capstone project that allows students to apply knowledge and skill in a specific area while completing a three-week practicum experience in assigned area of interest that is aligned with principles of care for nurses practicing in various settings.
