This is a precepted experience where the student will develop increasing autonomy, and assume direct care that more closely approximates a realistic workload of a novice nurse. The student will explore activities leading to professional sustainability. The student, with faculty input, will develop behavioral objectives that will be used to evaluate the student’s progress in meeting course objectives. Students will participate in experiential learning aimed at leadership building, clinical reasoning, and interprofessional collaboration. Students will work with faculty mentors through evidence-based literature review on a clinically relevant patient-centered question.
