NU 681 Capstone: Clinical Nurse Leader
This is the second and final course in the nursing sequence for the role immersion experience for the Clinical Nurse Leader. Integration of prior coursework related to advanced assessment and pathophysiology, pharmacology, information systems, ethics, research, evidence-based practice and health care systems occurs through clinical role practice, with a preceptor. Through this experience the student will develop an evidence-based improvement project. The course provides the opportunity for in- depth analysis of the CNL role within various health care settings and specialties. The immersion experience focuses on the role of the clinical nurse leader as clinician, outcomes manager, client manager, client advocate, educator, information manager, systems analyst/risk anticipator, team member, member of the profession, and lifelong learner. The preceptor provides guidance and support as CNL students identify and confirm the role components of the CNL while analyzing the organizational context for this new role.
