Bridge to Primary Care Advanced Practice Nursing

Connell School of Nursing

This is the first in a series of clinical reasoning and decision-making courses required for all primary care DNP students. Building on the skills acquired in Advanced Health/Physical Assessment across the Lifespan, the course will focus on communication and clinical decision-making for DNP students. Specific consideration will be given to wellness and health promotion across the lifespan, screening procedures, ordering and interpretation of diagnostic tests, health behavior change interventions, as well as problems frequently encountered in primary care. The combination of didactic, clinical, and simulated learning experiences will prepare the student for subsequent specialty clinical course work and experiences.
