Prerequisites/Co-requisites: NP 733, NP 845, NP 701. This clinical course is designed to complement the knowledge base of NP 845, Advanced Assessment and Management of Common Psychiatric Symptoms and NP 701, Nursing Management of the Adult: Primary Care I Theory. This first clinical course begins to prepare students for advanced practice as nurse practitioners in both adult primary care and psychiatric settings. Clinical experience emphasizes the development of critical thinking and diagnostic reasoning skills in the comprehensive and differential assessment and management of common and chronic physical and/or psychiatric health problems. Students have clinical practice in a variety of settings. Both individual and group supervision will provide a forum for exploring the student's understanding of, and developing expertise in, advance nursing practice.
