Practicum in Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing with Individuals, Groups and Families

3 credits · School of Nursing

This course builds on the first advanced practicum course by expanding the student's ability to identify and apply concepts, theories, and principles to individuals, groups, and families with complex mental health problems. The student gains skill in implementing evidence-based practice interventions, case load management, and analyzing process dynamics with individuals, families, and groups so that patterns in self and others are identified accurately and with regularity. Students will explore the PMHNP scope of practice through exposure to multiple roles and models. They will continue to refine diagnostic skills, pharmacological management, non-pharmacological management, and clinical reasoning. Prerequisites: 6013, 7214, and 7235; corequisites: 7221, 7222, and 7224. [3]
