RN-BS Experiential Learning Hour (Service Learning Hour) Placement Information

Tip

Thank you for submitting your Experiential Learning Form (Service Learning Form) via Qualtrics.

The Clinical Coordinator will be your primary USF College of Nursing contact for securing a placement for you to complete your experiential learning (service learning) hours with your clinical site or hospital. However, this does not necessarily mean the Clinical Coordinator secures your preceptor. This information is determined by the facility, and you can find more details below in the drop downs.

  • Step 1 - Navigate to the appropriate facility for which the USF Clinical Coordinator has designated your placement for NUR4828C Foundations of Healthcare Leadership and Management will take place.
  • Step 2 - Complete all requirements listed under that facility’s drop down as soon as possible to secure a preceptor and your placement for the semester.
  • Step 3 - Review additional important information by clicking the green heading below the icons to answer any questions about preceptor guidelines, Castle Branch requirements, or contacting your Academic Advisor.

(warning) Important to note: You will need to wear a Lab coat & your USF Student ID badge whenever you are within the hospital or facility for your NUR4828C practicum hours. Most hospitals prefer the differentiation of the student role from your employer role. Therefore, you don't have to necessarily buy a USF lab cost; however, you must have a lab coat on and your badge must be visible, also, you must wear different clothing different from your work attire under your lab coat. There are also USF College of Nursing patches in the USF Health Bookstore.


(lightbulb) Preceptor requirements: Your preceptor should be a nurse in a leadership (administrative) role such as a manager, assistant manager, etc. or your facility's equivalent. Generally a preceptor cannot be your direct supervisor or on your floor/unit, per the regulations placed by the facilities. Your preceptor should be able to provide you connections with three different individuals in administration as well as provide you access to two different leadership meetings/committees, per the guidelines below. The nurse can be BSN prepared or higher; however, they must be in the administrative role and be able to provide you access to the course requirements so you have the best learning experience. You will need only one preceptor. Your preceptor will help you find the other individuals to interview. For detailed information such as hours, more on interviews, etc., check out the "Preceptor Guidelines" link below.
