Access the "Individual Success
Plan" resource in the Topic
Materials. Read the information in the
resource, including student
expectations and instructions for
completing the ISP document.
Use the "Individual Success
Plan" to develop a personal
plan for completing your practice hours
and how topic objectives will
be met. Include the number of hours you
plan to set aside to meet your goals.
A combination of 100 supervised
clinical hours in community health
and leadership areas will be obtained
through the application of the
objectives listed in the Guidelines for
Undergraduate Field
Experiences manual.
Practicum immersion experiences are
required in a community health
setting. Community-based settings
should encourage community
integration and involvement; expand
accessibility of services and
supports; promote personal preference,
strengths, dignity; and empower
people to participate in the economic
mainstream.
According to HealthyPeople.gov,
educational and community-based
programs and strategies are designed to
reach people outside of
traditional health care settings. These
settings may include schools,
worksites, health care facilities, and
communities. Community health
and leadership practice immersion can
occur in the same site and in
conjunction with the evidence-based
project in the NRS-490 course.
If you are a registered nurse in
Washington, your practicum
experience must include a minimum of 50
hours in a community health setting.
