Course Title:
Neonatal Clinical Practicum 1
Course Description:
Focuses on the skills necessary for management of the high-risk neonate and family. Students have the opportunity to provide direct care under the supervision of NNP preceptors in the hospital neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), responsible for daily management of a specified caseload of neonates and their families, including therapeutic and diagnostic procedures. Supervised delivery room management of the high-risk neonate is expected, where available. Seeks to familiarize the student with respiratory distress syndrome, transient tachypnea, pneumonia, pulmonary hypertension, congenital heart disease, and patent ductus arteriosus, with appropriate management strategies. This parallels theory base presented in NUR G382, which is a prerequisite or concurrent course. A weekly clinical seminar meets on the NU campus. Requires students to practice in the clinical setting approximately twenty hours per week.
