NURS 485 Capstone

This capstone course will focus on student achievement of the program, course learning outcomes, as well as integrating the knowledge base from each of the different core specialties in nursing by reviewing material in a case study format. A portfolio will be used to highlight the professional endeavors of the student's past and present academic and work achievements that show evidence of meeting course competencies. The portfolio will also include a summary of the issues that relate to current nursing practice and the projection of the student's long- and short-term professional goals.

In addition, the course follows specific subject areas with a comprehensive assessment to ensure student preparation for success in taking the NCLEX examination. To pass this course, students must demonstrate a knowledge base in each subject area necessary to successfully pass the NCLEX-RN exam.
