This course is designed to provide the student with consolidated practice experience. A concentrated experience at a primary site will enhance and further develop the student’s scope of practice. A variety of clinical activities will facilitate the integration of core curriculum concepts including determinants of health, transitions, and principles of primary health care. An evidence-informed approach will be reflected in the practice area. Preceptorship students will have the opportunity to further integrate theory and skills in preparation for entry to practice. The student will be partnered with an RN preceptor who will assist the student to gradually assume responsibility for entry-level RN practice.
