Course Description Overview – Second Quarter

Fundamentals in Nursing Through Virtual Clinical Excursions: A computer-assisted course that reviews the fundamental skills in nursing by navigating through a virtual clinic where students encounter a variety of realistic situations that occur in a clinical context. In this virtual environment, students work on refining key nursing skills such as communication, documentation, assessment and critical thinking. Students have the opportunity to discuss and review concepts, processes and skills that are relevant to the American nursing community. (60 hours)

Diagnosis, Intervention and Documentation Strategies, Part II: A course designed to enable students to present their knowledge of the nursing field in peer-lead discussions and role-plays. The presentation format is a tool to stimulate discussion and foster an interactive learning environment.

Nursing Simulation Lab, Part I (25 hours): Simulation Labs help the students by closely reproducing the patient experience with high-tech mannequins that mimic life-like medical scenarios. The Nursing Simulation Lab provides a safe learning environment for students to practice critical thinking and decision-making via simulations, and students have the opportunity to learn and enhance their skills through the use of clinical case scenarios.

Internship in a Healthcare Setting, Part I (40 hours): Students acquire working experience as unpaid interns in a healthcare facility as they become members of the patient care team, provide immediate support to current staff, and create a local and culturally diverse cadre of future OPT employees.

Interns become familiar with workplace duties and responsibilities of RNs in a US healthcare setting and learn how to document, follow orders, develop critical thinking skills and effectively interact within the culture of a U.S. healthcare setting. At the same time, they contribute to the cultural and linguistic diversity of hospitals and healthcare systems.

In order to become interns, students must participate in a 24-hour training program and pass a test in the training before they will be granted an internship.
