The external internships within the degree in Nursing of the ESCS Tecnocampus are carried out in the following subjects:

  • Introductory Practicum I - II - III, in the second academic year of the Degree in Nursing.
  • Clinical Practicum I - II - III, in the third academic year of the Degree in Nursing.
  • Advanced Practicum I - II - III, in the fourth academic year of the Degree in Nursing.

These subjects guarantee the credits and clinical training hours as set out in Directive 2013 / 55EU of 20 November 2013.

External internships include all teaching-learning activities aimed at acquiring skills in the different environments where Nursing develops its practice. For the follow-up and evaluation of the students in the different periods of the Practicum there are three relevant figures: the academic tutor, the clinical tutor and the follow-up tutor. The three tutors accompany and ensure the achievement of the competencies (both generic and specific) of each of the Internships through continuous and formative assessment.

The subject of Clinical Practice I covers a period where one of its main objectives is to take care of children and adults, healthy or with acute or chronic health conditions. The centers where the clinical stays are carried out include Acute Hospital Units of different levels of complexity, Primary Care Centers and Socio-sanitary Centers in order to promote the learning of basic care for people.

Individual follow-up:

The individual follow-up of the student is carried out in the health institutions with the accompaniment and support of a clinical tutor and a follow-up tutor, both of whom are nursing professionals who ensure the improvement and acquisition of student skills during their clinical practice.

The evaluation is carried out jointly taking into account the evolution of the student during the practical period.

Seminars:

During the period of Clinical Practicum I, two online seminars are held, in small groups (10-12 students), and facilitated by the academic tutor.

Final work:

Students, during their practical stays, carry out an evaluable written work that will have to expose during the last face-to-face seminar.

Important information:

Attendance at external internships and seminars is mandatory and are subject to the "Regulations for External Internships in Healthcare Institutions for UPF Students" and the "Regulations for External Internships for Students of the Degree in Nursing of the ESCST" approved on July 10, 2019.  

Each seminar will have a weighting that will form part of the final evaluation of the seminars. In the case of not attending for a justified reason, this evaluation will not be counted in the final grade of the seminars.

It will be necessary to pass the written work of the Practicum, as well as the evaluation of the clinical tutor in order to make an average. In case of work suspension the student will be able to do it again and deliver it to the recovery period. In case of suspension of the evaluation by the clinical tutor, the subject of the Practicum will be suspended and will have to recover during the months of June-July. The evaluation of the seminars is not likely to recover.

In case of suspension of external internships, the grade of the approved parts for recovery will be saved and only the suspended part will be evaluated. A quantitative (from 0 to 10) and qualitative (suspended, approved, excellent, honors matriculation) qualification system will be used according to RD 1125/2003. 

The total or partial copy in any of the learning activities will mean a "Not Presented" in the subject, without option to present in the proof of recovery and without prejudice of the opening of a file for this reason.

Registration requirements:

To be able to enroll in the Clinical Practicum I, the student must have passed at least one of the three subjects of the Introductory Practicum.
