NURS 6351: Role of the Nurse Educator
Practicum Experience Plan (PEP)
Overview:
Your Practicum experience may include an academic setting, a clinical setting, or a professional development setting. Whatever your practicum experience, you will develop a Practicum Experience Plan that sets forth objectives that frame your practicum experience rather than focusing on a separate project.
As part of your Practicum Experience Plan (PEP), you will not only plan for your learning in your practicum experience but you will also work through a project (e.g., part of developing a course; a unit in a course; a lesson in the course) of your choice in your experience.
