The capstone experience for the Master of Nursing programs is offered through a set of two courses NSG/516 and NSG/517. Each course is 3 credits and requires a minimum of 30 direct clinical hours. Together, these courses guide the student through the following stages of the practicum project: safety and/or advocacy assessment, development plan, implementation, evaluation, and dissemination. This course prepares the graduate to lead change to improve quality outcomes, work collaboratively across interprofessional teams, navigate and integrate care services across the healthcare system, design and innovate nursing practices, and translate evidence into clinical practice.
