Practicum Change Project
The practicum is designed to help you develop as a scholar practitioner and health leader to promote positive social change in your community. The practicum is an active learning experience that provides you with the opportunity to apply nursing knowledge and skills that you are acquiring in NURS 4020 to current or past experiences in a healthcare setting. The practicum is comprised of selected onsite experiences and weekly practicum discussions. Throughout your practicum experience you will collaborate with leaders and other colleagues, with fellow students in practicum discussion groups, and with your faculty. Each week of the course outlines specific activities or reflections you will engage in during your practicum as you complete your proposed Practicum Change Project. A complete description is presented on the Practicum discussion page of each week and a brief outline of the activities is presented below. The practicum for NURS 4020 is a minimum of 45 hours.

Practicum Change Project Overview Practicum Change Project Overview Each week, your instructor will assign a discussion to the class. Within an instructor-assigned discussion team, you will participate in a total of six discussions for this project. Satisfactory completion of these six discussions and a PowerPoint Presentation of your Practicum Change Project will satisfy the requirement for the practicum. The purpose of the Practicum Change Project is for you to design and offer a change project specific to your work setting to be implemented once the course is over and once approved by management at your setting. The team discussion provides an avenue for you to share ideas, to critique each other’s work, and to offer support to each other.
