In this final course of the program students integrate all previous learning experiences to provide holistic nursing care to patients with multiple complex biopsychosocial needs. All of the role components of the RN are operationalized in depth, as students assume these roles in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings. This course presents issues related to mental health and mental illness and the societal implications. Students are introduced to leadership concepts and issues of student nurse to RN role transition. In the clinical setting, emphasis is placed on integration of the role components of the RN. Students provide highly skilled, complex nursing care; plan, manage and delegate nursing care for a group of patients with multiple alterations in health; and collaborate with patients, support persons, and other health care providers to promote positive patient outcomes.
