Transition to Professional Nursing Practice

3 Credits.

In this course, learners are prepared for entry into professional nursing practice through two integrated threads: strengthening evidence-based practice (EBP) competencies and enhancing professional readiness for the nursing workforce. Learners apply an EBP model in teams to develop an EBP project that integrates areas of focus from the program’s Core courses: Planetary Health, Practice Essentials, Communication, and Leadership. In parallel, learners engage in activities related to their readiness for entering the nursing workforce. Together, these experiences foster the competence and confidence needed to provide quality nursing care.
