NUR 4240 - RN-to-BS Transitions to Clinical Leadership Practicum

3 cr

This capstone clinical experience provides the RN-to-BS student the opportunity to apply leadership and followership skills necessary to transition to the realities of formal and informal clinical leadership expected of the baccalaureate graduate. Students will work side-by-side with a registered nurse serving in a leadership-management position in a healthcare setting. Students will gain an understanding of and appreciation for the role of leader-manager as indirect care provider, change agent, role model, and professional and public advocate. Students are expected to fully engage with their preceptors in shaping the practice or practice environment by actively participating and contributing to select projects and processes that contribute to the Triple Aims (IHI, 2007)-improved population health/health outcomes, quality of the patient experience, and cost-effectiveness. Students must complete other degree requirements before completion of the capstone practicum.
