Experiential Nursing Learning Planning Proposal
Assignment
20 points
Overview and Instructions:
Demonstrating the student’s ability to effectively collaborate with nursing leaders and community health nurses for the upcoming public/community health clinical experience, while using leadership skills as a means to prepare for the upcoming NURS 450 experiential nursing learning experiences, the student will submit an experiential learning planning proposal paper by 6-25-23.
During this course (410), you will plan your experiences that will take place during the NURS 450 course. Prior to due date, you will be responsible for contacting a BSN (or higher) preceptor for 24 hours in a public/community health clinical site for your upcoming NURS 450 course. The clinical site must offer community/population-based services, with the primary preceptor being a BSN (or higher) prepared nurse working in a clinical setting providing community or population-based care, while using nurse leadership skills. You will also arrange for 11 additional volunteer hours in a different public/community health setting. Within this module, you will find a list of potential experiential learning (clinical) sites that have been used by previous nursing students. This is not an all-inclusive list but does give the student an idea of previously used sites. Your precepted and/or volunteer experiential nursing learning (clinical) site does not need to be included in this list, as other public/community health sites can be arranged as well.
