Psychiatric Mental Health Advanced Practice Nursing Across the Lifespan Clinical Practicum II

3 credits

The second of two precepted clinical practice experiences, the students will integrate didactic learning into clinical practice settings and refine critical application of person-centered, developmental, trauma-informed, ethical and humanistic care for diverse populations across the lifespan. The analysis of patient data and diagnostic reasoning are used to provide evidence-based, cost-effective care to individuals, groups and populations with complex mental health needs. Advanced clinical decision-making and increasing autonomy in practice are emphasized. Clinical faculty facilitate and assess learning through preceptor collaboration, biweekly clinical seminars and review of clinical documentation.
