Participant:
As we proceed with the implementation of our revised BSN
curriculum, we will need to develop a clinical course in geriatric
nursing that includes an 8-week practicum experience for students
in a long-term care facility. I am assigning you to develop the
clinical experience for the course.
As you know, students will be taking this course after they have
completed two semesters in the Clinical Simulation Learning Center,
the 3-credit course in Foundations of Professional Nursing, and a
6-week clinical experience in an acute care hospital. Nursing Care
of Older Adults will be offered next spring semester and every
semester thereafter.
I know that your experience and knowledge in geriatric nursing
and clinical teaching in nursing homes will be invaluable to
creating an exemplary course and clinical experience for students.
Thank you for taking the leadership for this part of our
curriculum.

Hey, I downloaded the same to-do list app on my smartphone.
Sounds like a great idea to use it for the Nursing Care of
Older Adults course you’re working on.
