A culminating practicum experience, completed in person with a preceptor, provides students with experiences in the three spheres of influence of CNS practice: patient/client, nurses and nursing practice, and organization/system within their specialty area. This clinical practice affords students opportunity to refine their clinical decision-making skills in differential illness diagnoses and treatments that require nursing interventions; to develop their CNS roles of clinical expert, leader, collaborator, consultant, educator, researcher and change agent; and to explore how their professional attributes, ethical conduct, and professional citizenship are integrated in CNS practice to affect outcomes within the spheres. The course includes the application of the core content specific to CNS practice identified in NUR 655 and NUR 657. Online case study discussions analyzed by evidence-based practice guidelines are utilized. Impact of the student CNS on nursing practice and system-level outcomes are identified.
