Description

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

  • 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 the Clinical Practicum II covers a period, where one of its main objectives is to take care of people in childhood and adulthood, healthy or with acute or chronic health pathology. The centers where the clinical stays are carried out include Acute Hospital Units of different levels of complexity, Primary Care Centers and Sociosanitary Centers in order to favor the learning of the basic cares of the people.

Individual follow-up:

The individual follow-up of the students 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 look after the improvement and the acquisition of skills by the student during his 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 the Clinical Practicum II, two online seminars are held, in small groups (10-12 students), and facilitated by the academic tutor. In addition, the evaluation of the seminars includes the completion of the Practicum Satisfaction Survey.

Final work:

Students, during their practical stays, carry out an evaluable written work based on reflective practice and critical thinking.
