MSC 3611 - Nurses Summer Training ProgramCredits: 6 hrs
This course is a four week clinical conducted at Army hospitals in the United States, Germany, and Korea. During the NSTP clinical elective, students receive “hands on” experience under the direct supervision of a preceptor—an Army Nurse Corps officer who works one-on-one with the cadet. Regular coaching sessions enhances their progress, while also providing feedback about their performance. Cadets follow the same duty schedule as their preceptor, usually an eight-hour a day work schedule spanning all three shifts. By the end of NSTP, each nurse cadet has attained 120 hours of clinical experience. They receive training in such areas as patient assessment, planning of patient care, nutrition maintenance and feeding techniques, range of motion and mobility, medication administration, emergency procedures, intravenous (IV) therapy, intravenous (IV) therapy, and other special procedures and techniques. Prerequisite(s): MSC 3205, MSC 3206 and Nursing Major in Upper Division.
