NRSG2382 : Transition to Professional Practice

Transition to Professional Practice is a course designed to help guide the students down the pathway to professional nursing practice. The course focuses on current nursing trends, management, and leadership in nursing. As students prepare to enter the complex adaptive system of the nursing workforce, it is essential for them to understand their roles in delegation, priority-setting, and conflict management. Students will apply their knowledge of communication skills, ethical practice, and professional responsibility to further prepare for entry into practice. Additionally, the essential components of understanding state regulations, regulatory bodies, the legalities of practice, and reducing patient and nursing risk will be explored. Clinical and didactic experiences will lead to an application of leadership, delegation, and complex decision-making skills to provide quality outcomes for patients.
