Create a PowerPoint presentation that summarizes your Practicum Change Project.
Leadership Competencies in Nursing and Healthcare Practicum
The practicum is designed to help you develop as a scholar practitioner and health leader to promote positive social change in your community. The practicum is an active learning experience that provides you with the opportunity to apply nursing knowledge and skills that you are acquiring in NURS 4020 to current or past experiences in a healthcare setting. The practicum is comprised of selected onsite experiences and weekly practicum discussions. Throughout your practicum experience you will collaborate with leaders and other colleagues, with fellow students in practicum discussion groups, and with your faculty. Each week of the course outlines specific activities or reflections you will engage in during your practicum as you complete your proposed Practicum Change Project.
The following is a list of the weekly, project-related discussions and activities.
