Clinical Nursing Practice is designed to provide students with hands-on experience in applying nursing theories, concepts, and skills in real healthcare settings. The course emphasizes evidence-based practice, patient safety, ethical decision-making, and collaborative care as students rotate through various clinical environments such as hospitals, community health centers, and specialty clinics. Through supervised clinical placements, students develop competencies in patient assessment, care planning, implementation of nursing interventions, and evaluation of patient outcomes. By integrating classroom learning with practical experience, the course prepares students to deliver holistic and effective nursing care to diverse patient populations.
