It is the expectation that the student would have an opportunity in this situation to gain a broader and deeper perspective of his or her own organization, as well as for the employer to have the opportunity to provide a forum for professional growth within the organization for the employee.  Additional hours are incorporated in NUR 4169C and NUR 4634C to meet student learning outcomes in Evidence Based Practice and Population Health through faculty guided experiences. An appropriate practicum facility allows students to complete the following tasks: Organizational cultural assessment Patient education project  Evidence-based practice project Assessment of a specific patient population using health    care issues and community resources Please keep in mind; it is your responsibility to please notify us if your employment has changed since filling out your SOAR application. Students who do not have an approved work location for Experiential Learning hours will be placed in the Tampa Bay on a space available basis.
