Description

The "Practice Ready. Specialty Focused." Nurse Education Model is a grant-funded program led by Chamberlain University. The program increases nursing students' practice-readiness by introducing them to specialty areas of practice and giving them an opportunity to try out nursing specialties so they have a better idea of their career goals before graduation. Currently, Chamberlain University offers two nursing specialty track experiences. There is a 16-week online didactic Introduction to Perioperative Nursing course and an eight-week perioperative clinical experience offered at Loyola Medicine, Emory Healthcare and Ochsner Health sites. There is also an online didactic Introduction to Continuing Health course and an accompanying 96-hour clinical experience at BrightStar Care for home health nursing. The project is funded by a $1.2M grant from the American Nurses Foundation Reimagining Nursing Initiative.
