Early Immersion Clinical for an Accelerated BSN Nursing Program.

Ensuring clinical competency and judgment in nursing students is critical. Developing ways for students to obtain this goal in a second-degree bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) program is challenging. One method described here is the early immersion clinical (EIC). Occurring concurrently with health assessment and fundamentals courses, EIC allowed for quick application of skills in the context of clinical care. Weekly clinical objectives were aligned with objectives for both courses. This article describes how EIC was implemented in a 12-month second-degree accelerated BSN program.
