NUR 4030 - Practice Synthesis: Preceptorship and Simulations1 lecture hours 9 lab hours 4 credits Course Description The focus of this course is to prepare the student for the role of the professional nurse. Through a combination of preceptorship and simulation experiences, students increase their self-confidence, ability to prioritize situations, optimize time management skills, receive individualized feedback on competency achievement. Students develop their professional identity and belonging to the nursing profession. Students integrate previous learning that is transferable across health care settings and contexts that approximates professional practice expectations. Through participation in problem-based learning case scenarios, students solve problems common in healthcare environments. The summative simulation experiences provide opportunities to analyze and implement strategies to support effective teams, strengthen clinical judgment in the management of complex clinical situations, and gain skill and comfort in analyzing self and team performance, conflict management, and delegation skills. Prereq: NUR 4010 and (NUR 4020 or NUR 4015 ) (quarter system prereq: NU 4600 and NU 4700 or NU 4702) Note: None This course meets the following Raider Core CLO Requirement: None Course Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Provide safe, effective, compassionate care through analytical use of the nursing process, prioritization, and clinical reasoning skills during clinical and simulation experiences (Person-Centered Care, Clinical Judgment)
