Description

Prerequisites: NSG 403, NSG 433, andNSG 416with a minimum grade of C (2.0).Corequisite: NSG 473. Based on a Biblical worldview, this capstone course studies the leadership character and the management roles of the baccalaureate nurse. Intelligent leadership principles, including prioritization of care to create a nourishing environment for healing of multiple patients and staff, are examined. Clinical experiences allow the student to demonstrate servant leadership and basic management skills in both simulated and direct patient care settings. This course includes extensive 1:1 clinical experience with RN preceptors who primarily provide direct, holistic patient care. Synthesis of BSN competencies, through the lens of the program's conceptual framework, will be demonstrated and analyzed in preparation for graduation and graduate study.270 clinical hours. Spring
