NRSG660 FNPI Practicum: Advanced nursing care of the adult, geriatric and women patients
This course allows the Family Nurse Practitioner student the opportunity to apply newly learned theory from advanced pathophysiology, pharmacology and physical assessment into the development of holistic patient-centered care for adult, women, geriatric and frail elderly patients. Students will be required to demonstrate the use of evidence-based practice in the treatment and evaluation of healthcare outcomes of the patient across the adult life continuum, including pregnancy.

The entire series must be completed in order for a grade to be granted. The preceptor must be approved by the College of Nursing prior to enrollment in this course.
