NURS-637 Clinical Practicum: Primary Care Across The Lifespan I
This FNP clinical practicum experience focuses on the care of clients throughout the lifespan. Working with approved preceptors in designated clinical sites, students build on concepts from previous theoretical and clinical courses to provide culturally responsive care for clients from birth through older adult and frail elderly. Utilizing evidence-based practice and clinical guidelines, students will demonstrate further development of competencies in the completion of age appropriate, advanced health assessment, diagnosis, management and evaluation of increasingly complex, common acute and chronic conditions for clients across the lifespan in primary care settings. Care of diverse, vulnerable and underserved populations is emphasized. Students are required to function safely in the clinical setting and meet the identified clinical competencies for clients across the lifespan with increasing independence and a moderate amount of guidance.
