Externship Seminar

0-1 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

This one-credit pass/fail independent nursing tutorial provides a crucial immersion experience within the undergraduate BSN program, aligning academic credit with an approved nursing externship. Students will secure a placement in an accredited nursing externship for a minimum of 80 hours of acute clinical experience across the lifespan and acuity continuum. Approval will be provided by the BSN Program Director and Academic Affairs. The nursing externship must be designed for advanced skill development and professional formation, where the student operates under the direct guidance and supervision of a BSN-prepared registered nurse. This course is fundamentally grounded in the Georgetown Berkley School of Nursing Mission and Values, and professional nursing standards, including the American Nurses Association (ANA) Scope and Standards of Practice 2021, the State Board of Nursing Regulatory Code, and the Code of Ethics for Nurses 2025.
