NU 806 Advanced Clinical III: 3 semester hours
This clinical course builds the student’s proficiency in comprehensive health evaluation and management across the lifespan within the context of family, community, and culture in a primary care setting. Using an evidence-based practice framework, the student focused on transitioning from novice-level FNP towards proficiency. The student will gain fluency in recommending appropriate health promotion/disease prevention and screenings and performance improvement in the assessment and management of most common acute and chronic health conditions. Growth of the student’s family nurse practitioner’s role and responsibilities in the provision of patient centered, ethical, culturally competent care is a course expectation. Using an evidence-based practice framework and student’s self-evaluation of FNP competencies attainment gap analysis, the student focuses is on addressing competency gaps, with support of faculty and the preceptor, in the clinical experience while transitioning to program completion.
