WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE INTEGRATIVE PRACTICUM AND COOP EDUCATION (alias “SFE”)?
• Co-op Education is an additional optional course students can take at almost any point in nursing school to get more experiences. Jeanne Harcleroad now supervises all Co-op students • Integrative Practicum is a required clinical course. Only students in their last quarter before graduation take this course. It is organized and supervised more tightly because it is their clinical course. Integrative practicum has specific clinical objectives, and is required to be passed to graduate. Second year faculty supervise the integrative practicum and monitor the completion of these clinical objectives.
