Abstract

Senior practicum offers students valuable time to apply knowledge from the entire nursing program within a supportive setting while having the benefit of direct supervision from an experienced clinician. Benefits to agencies include a well-prepared practitioner who is thoroughly oriented to agency policies and procedures. The authors describe the practicum experience of a baccalaureate nursing program and discuss the benefits from multiple points of view.
