Students work with an experienced Registered Nurse preceptor to provide holistic nursing care for a limited number of clients with potentially life threatening health problems. Clinical experiences may take place in a variety of clinical settings and work schedules. Students develop team-leading skills in the clinical setting, delegating and evaluating aspects of care to other health team members. Focus is on demonstration of all professional behaviors and competencies expected of the Associate Degree Registered Nurse graduate at entry level.
