NPCSI: Family Nurse Practitioner

Students using a simulation human

 

All students in the Family Nurse Practitioner specialty are required to attend two* mandatory clinical skills intensives on-campus. Instruction is provided by the USA Simulation Program. 

Students must sign-up to attend one session for each phase and can select preferred dates on a first come, first serve basis. Simulation will contact students with information on how to sign-up three months prior to the scheduled dates. 

Please note the dates are for Clinical Skills Intensives only. The track coordinator may provide orientation dates, which are separate from CSI and Simulation.

The Phase 1 clinical skills intensive provides hands-on instruction for common advanced practice assessments and procedures pertinent to the specialty and occurs during the spring semester when the student is enrolled in the first clinical course (CMN 573).
