临床经验
Cedarville University 护理学院 has developed excellent relationships with the highly recognized health care facilities in the surrounding area, allowing nursing students the opportunity to care for a variety of patients in diverse settings. Highly qualified faculty members provide expertise and experience in both the classroom and clinical settings. The 护理学院 is committed to maintaining the reputation our students and new graduates have gained within the health care community.
Clinical experiences begin for the students at the completion of their sophomore year. The clinical immersion course allows students to gain confidence as they transition into the junior year clinical nursing core. The junior year clinical nursing core includes care of women and babies, 孩子们, 患病的成年人, and behavioral and mental health nursing. Students entering the senior year are prepared to provide complex care management in both acute care and public health setting. The public health clinical includes a variety of agencies offering experiences in school nursing, 公共卫生护理, 初级保健诊所, 以信仰为基础的部门, 无家可归者收容所, and occupational health nursing. The students complete a community assessment and provide a health education session specific for the population, such as healthy nutrition for elementary school 孩子们 or oral hygiene and oral cancer risks for people living in poverty. The clinical experiences culminate in a transition to practice “preceptorship.” Each student is given the opportunity to select an area of interest, depending on availability. Under the supervision of a faculty member, students are paired with a practicing RN and work full time during this five-week experience.
Each clinical experience allows nursing students to function as part of the health care team in leading and directing patient care. These experiences also allow for opportunities to provide compassionate care to those at a time of greatest need, demonstrating nursing as ministry.
