IN NURSING ADMINISTRATION CAPSTONE EXPERIENCES The capstone experience requirements are embedded into the Nursing Education Capstone (NURS 7005) and Nursing Administration Capstone (NURS 7010) courses. These experiences are designed to meet both predetermined and personal course learning objectives. Students arrange the practicum experience with a chosen preceptor within their own community, in consultation with the clinical coordinator and the capstone lead faculty. The capstone experiences require advance planning in order to integrate the experience and coursework into current employment and family schedules. It is recommended that students begin the planning process at least six months before course registration. Students initiate the planning process by contacting the clinical coordinator to receive instructions on how to upload their clinical paperwork into an online secure database for lead faculty review and approval. These courses are completed at the end of the program and are offered during the 15-week fall and spring terms. Capstone requests are due by June 1 for a fall experience and October 1 for a spring experience. Guidelines for Capstone Experiences The capstone component is fulfilled by completing 45 hours working with a preceptor. The preceptor must be an experienced RN who holds at least an MS degree in nursing or a related field. Preceptors facilitate learning experiences within the primary area of concentration (Education or Administration), and they also provide feedback that faculty use for evaluation of student achievement of learning outcomes.
