Assignment Summary
NR 602 features a variety of weekly assignments designed to build your clinical skills and deepen your understanding progressively. Each week includes focused activities to help you practice real-world scenarios and reflect on your learning.
You will start with foundational tasks such as clinical hour tracking and discussion participation. Early weeks include assignments like the Pediatric Clinical Pearl Case Study, encouraging you to apply clinical knowledge in specific patient situations.
Weeks 3 through 7 emphasize hands-on virtual patient encounters using i-Human. These activities simulate real clinical experiences where you diagnose and manage patient care, reinforcing your decision-making and critical thinking skills.
Clinical hour homework assignments occur weekly to ensure you meet practical experience requirements consistently. In addition, quizzes and discussions throughout the course foster engagement and review important concepts.
Toward the end, you will complete a midterm exam in Week 4 and a final exam in Week 8, each weighted heavily to assess your mastery of the material.
