NURS 6430

The NP Internship provides opportunities for students to consolidate and to build on knowledge and skills acquired throughout the program in a final intensive clinical experience. Students will complete a consolidated preceptor-guided clinical experience of 320-hours in a primary care setting with the opportunity synthesize the learning from previous courses and clinical experiences through therapeutic management of clients across the lifespan. They will apply their integrated knowledge and skills in the critical analysis of health assessment data, and the diagnosis, therapeutic management, and evaluation of clients with acute and chronic conditions and healthcare needs commonly seen in primary healthcare practice. Students will demonstrate leadership attributes, modeling social responsibility, ethical behavior, and intercultural understanding, as well as critical problem-solving in the application of research to enhance evidence-informed practice.
