NUR559 - Practicum III

This is the last clinical course in the ANP program. The seminar portion of this course focuses on the course objectives as well as preparing the student for their first position as an NP. Our patient care focus will be the elder patient and issues specific to this group. We also focus on the "nuts and bolts" of practice such as getting certified, contract negotiation and landing that first position. In the clinical portion of this course you must focus on use of evidenced-based medicine in guiding your patient care decisions and perfecting your critical thinking and diagnostic skills. Your log should focus on the elder in the practice setting. This course is a culmination of everything you have learned since starting your masters education at Molloy College and as I call it "the putting it all together" semester.
