In this clinical course, the adult acute care gerontology nurse practitioner student will be paired with a preceptor and meet periodically with faculty in small seminar groups for support and guidance as they develop into the role of the advanced practice nurse. This seminar includes a simulation experience. Students will attend clinical throughout the semester where they collaborate with preceptors to assess, diagnose and treat common acute and chronic health issues in the adult-geriatric populations. The seminar and simulation experience provide an opportunity to refine skills necessary in acute care nurse practitioner practice, develop professional roles, and improve communication.
