This course is the last preceptorship experience in which students expand and apply their knowledge, competencies, and skills in assessing, diagnosing, and managing more complex acute and chronic health problems experienced by individuals across the lifespan in primary care settings. Graduate students in the preceptorship setting function more independently under preceptor supervision. Graduate students continue to build knowledge, competency, and skills within the APRN overarching competency areas: 1) scientific foundation, 2) leadership, 3) quality, 4) practice inquiry, 5) technology and information literacy, 6) policy, 7) health delivery system, 8) ethics, and 9) independent practice. At the end of this course, the student should be well prepared for national certification as a nurse practitioner. An intensive review session occurs during this course.
