Seminar in Clinical Competence

NUR-500 Seminar in Clinical Competence

Designed as the final course in the BSN degree, and the first course to be scheduled in the MSN degree program, this course provides students with the learning experiences they need to develop and apply their knowledge of critical thinking, reflective thinking and transformative learning to develop an e-portfolio that presents evidence of both their clinical competence in a selected area of clinical practice and their academic achievement. Assignments completed in the undergraduate nursing courses may be entered into the e-portfolio by BSN students. The e-portfolio will be updated with course assignments and professional and educational experiences as the student progresses through the MSN degree program. Synthesis of the e-portfolio with submission of a formal paper in the final education Practicum will be required for MSN degree students.

Prerequisites for students enrolled in the BSN degree: all other requirements for the BSN degree; evidence of current RN licensure.

Nurse Educator Certificate students are not required to take NUR-500-NG.
