NURS 5471 - Nurse-Midwifery Integrated Clinical Practicum, Level A

In this precepted clinical course, the student applies the cognitive and clinical skills learned in N-M I, II, and III in the office/clinic setting, as well as becoming involved in the professional organization. In addition to “hands-on” skills in clinical practice, the student will apply skills of professional communication through documentation exercises and interprofessional activities. Research skills will be reinforced by initiating a literature review of peer-reviewed sources on emerging trends surrounding a clinical topic. The student will also learn to use relevant evidence-based mobile applications and websites for clinical practice. Additional skills learning and an objective simulated/structured clinical examination (OSCE) will be conducted in this course. Depending upon the clinical assignment, the student may have the opportunity to begin applying N-M IV skills during the latter part of the semester. Although semester clinical hours equate to 210 hours, you are evaluated on practice competency. Achieving competency may require more than the listed number of hours.
