Clinical Nursing III provides students with the opportunity to build upon knowledge and skills developed in previous nursing courses. Students are introduced to implementing principles of leadership and management. Classroom content relates to the preparation of the student for assuming the role of professional nurse. Prioritization and delegation are important concepts in this course. The clinical component is an individualized experience that is selected in collaboration with the faculty and an RN preceptor. One alternate preceptor may be designated. Guidelines for level II practicum experiences are defined by the Florida Board of Nursing in the Nurse Practice Act chapter 64B (15 a-g). All preceptor practicum experiences are to be obtained on an adult medical-surgical unit or floor. The only exceptions considered are for LPNs and require the permission of the faculty and program director. The clinical component of practicum will not commence until all requirements for NUR 2462C are successfully met. The preceptor must be approved by the nursing program and must be an RN licensed in the State of Florida. It is the responsibility of the student to meet with the preceptor to review clinical expectation and goals prior to beginning clinical time. The student must obtain a resume from the preceptor and a signed letter of agreement.
