NURS 400 : Elective Clinical Nursing

The Clinical Nursing Elective course is a structured educational summer program designed to provide nursing students with an opportunity to improve their nursing skills in the clinical setting, while providing them with summer employment. Weekly educational sessions are designed specifically for the nurse externs. Nurse externs work within an agency to gain experience providing nursing care and services to patients. Nurse externs will work the assigned schedule as stipulated by the agency. The duties and responsibilities of the student nurse fall under the scope of practice for unlicensed health care providers within the agency providing the externship.
