Description

The course is designed for students to apply competencies for contemporary nursing practice. Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) products for NCLEX preparation are integrated throughout the course, including Comprehensive and Content Mastery Assessments that focus on nursing fundamentals, adult medical-surgical, pharmacology, pediatric, newborn and women's health, mental health, and leadership. Emphasis is placed on remediation to strengthen areas of weakness identified through practice assessments. Students will participate in four NCLEX Success Sessions, which emphasize content knowledge, clinical judgment, professional values, and comprehensive NCLEX preparation. The course includes a laboratory component for group collaboration, demonstrating teamwork, intraprofessional collaboration, and understanding medical emergencies. Additionally, students must complete a mandatory pediatric practice experience with a community partner addressing pediatric healthcare needs. Failure to complete and submit mandatory course components will result in failing the course.
