Please Note

Preceptorship for Online Emergency Nursing Students To obtain a certificate in emergency nursing the student will need to complete 60 clinical in an emergency department (or ER compatible site.) The goal of this course is that the student apply the academic knowledge learned in the two theory components of the Emergency Nursing Program in a clinical setting. Each online student will liaise directly with the instructor regarding the clinical placement that will occur at the student's location. The clinical component is not done at UCSD or arranged by UCSD. It is up to the online student to arrange his or her own clinical experience with the instructor in a facilitating role.
