Nursing Capstone

P.I.C. (Preceptorship Immersion Capstone)

During this experience you will get the PIC – or the picture of AND experience the role of the RN in long term care/acute rehab.

So, why the 3 names? This is a unique combination experience. This is:

  • a PRECEPTORSHIP, where you are paired with an experienced staff RN,
  • an RN IMMERSION experience where you completely experience the RN role; and
  • a CAPSTONE, the culminating project of your time here at CCRI where you learn delegation, leadership and autonomy.

In this course, students will synthesize acquired knowledge and have the opportunity to apply that knowledge in a clinical immersion experience. Students will examine and apply an understanding of professional nursing standards, ethical problem-solving, evidence-based practice, and a commitment to lifelong learning. The clinical experience will provide opportunities for teamwork and collaboration in managing care for groups of patients, develop leadership skills, and participate in quality improvement activities.

This is a fantastic program and initiative! It is important for these nurses to see where care is really taking place these days, there has been a huge shift over the years. I am a dual assigned physician for a hospital and long term care. Many of my patients out here in long term care are what we used to care for in the hospitals - - - the hospitals now are quicker faster and shorter and they come out to the community to heal and rehab!
