PRAC Courses:

PRAC 6810 - Advanced Pediatric Nursing Practicum I: Primary Care

(2 credits)

Pediatric nurse practitioner students will synthesize their knowledge from previous clinical courses and experiences related to the issues and trends in healthcare needs of children from birth to young adulthood, including well-child care, age-appropriate anticipatory guidance, and the diagnosis and management of various pediatric conditions. The focus of this course is on pediatric nursing practice in the outpatient care environment of the pediatric patient. Students gain confidence in clinical experiences in a primary healthcare setting where they learn to take a subjective history, complete a thorough objective examination, made appropriate assessments with differentials, and plan both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment. 

Course Sequence Policy: Must be the first PRAC (practicum) course. Cannot be taken concurrently with any other NRNP (didactic) or PRAC (practicum) course, except for the corresponding NRNP (didactic) 6810 course.
