NURS432: Nursing Capstone

This clinical course promotes synthesis of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that have been attained throughout the curriculum through working with an assigned preceptor in a clinical practice area aligned with individual student goals.  Clinical learning experiences foster transition into professional practice by allowing students to engage in the full scope of professional nursing roles, and to demonstrate critical thinking and clinical judgment while embracing collaboration and leadership skills to provide person-centered care.  Emphasis is placed on use of information management skills to guide safe decision-making.  A scholarly oral capstone presentation demonstrates integration of general education and nursing program curricular outcomes.
