NUR 5430 - Advanced Practicum/Seminar I


This course will allow students to blend and simultaneously develop an in-depth understanding of substantive theories, advanced nursing knowledge, clinical skills, and judgment in complex practice environments and healthcare organizations. Students will begin to articulate their advanced practice by developing a conceptual framework based on theoretical, empirical, ethical, and experiential knowledge in one’s area of practice. This course focuses on describing one’s advanced level of nursing practice in addressing patients’ concerns along a continuum of care or teaching others who are providing care and articulating this within an evolving conceptual framework. In critically analyzing and synthesizing regulating documents and frameworks (e.g., CNA, 2002; CASN), students will name and create the critical elements of their own framework, considering the assumptions, definitions, characteristics, competencies, and domains of practice in the literature.
