NUR-206 Nursing Clinical Practicum
This intensive, one week elective is offered during January Intersession or Summer Session to provide reality-oriented nursing practice based upon knowledge and skills accrued by nursing students during their Freshmen or Sophomore year at Finger Lakes Community College. The course is intended to permit the nursing student the curricular freedom to identify personal learning needs and initiate these learnings under the guidance of an expert clinical nursing instructor in an acute care hospital setting. This course offers the student the unique exposure to a full day or evening shift of clinical experience for a week’s time, thereby allowing for continuity and intensity of clinical learning not provided in other nursing clinical laboratory courses.
