NURS 584B Clinical Decision Making in the_Workplace
This course builds upon the principles of primary health care nursing in the workplace and includes the two components of a clinical practicum and a clinical decision-making seminar. It is expected that students will become increasingly independent in the delivery of health care services, and will consult with preceptors and members of the interdisciplinary health care team as appropriate. In the clinical component, students are responsible for the delivery of primary health care to workers and for the evaluation of a specific occupational hazard or group. Faculty meets regularly with students and preceptors for the purpose of evaluating student performance and successful attainment of course objectives. Written feedback on student clinical summaries and conferences facilitate this final component of the transition to the Masters-prepared nurse practitioner role. Corequisite: NURS 564 (4 credits)
