NURS615 Capstone Synthesis
With faculty guidance, students select and participate in a variety of experiences that focus on nursing education within diverse academic settings. Seminars provide students with experiences in developing the skills necessary for the nurse educator to influence change, to work with teams, and to manage curricular resources. Students in this course apply the MSN curriculum experience by translating knowledge into practice by designing, developing, and implementing a project in a professional nursing higher education setting. By using the culmination of learning, students gain the opportunity to effect positive social change within the healthcare delivery environment in the roles of change agent and nurse educator. The result of the practicum experience provides students with an experience through which they develop their passion as an educational practitioner while enhancing the nurse role as an advocate for social change within the context of a scholarly presence.Prerequisite: NURS 613Credits 6
