NRSG 634 - Nursing Education Practicum

2 hours
This course will build on previous foundational experiences and coursework as students complete a 120-hour practicum. Students work alongside an approved, self-selected preceptor who works in a full-time capacity as an academic nursing educator, assistant professor, associate professor, or professor, in either a community college (ADN) or baccalaureate college/school/university (BSN) setting. Professional competencies and knowledge gained within the education track will be integrated into the practicum setting. Students and their preceptors will evaluate their progress throughout the practicum experience. Students will also further refine their communication skills and professionalism as they apply their knowledge in advanced nursing practice in academia. Upon completion of the Education Track, students are educationally prepared to sit for the Certified Nurse Educator examination from the National League for Nursing.
