3 Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) Concentration Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Program Concentration Goals Welcome to the family nurse practitioner (FNP) concentration of the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Program. This is one of seven different advanced practice concentrations preparing students for careers at the highest level of clinical practice. FNPs are prepared with specialized knowledge and skills to provide primary care to individuals and families across the life span. This program will prepare you to independently diagnose and treat acute, chronic and complex health problems for individuals of all ages, as well as provide a broad array of health promotion and disease prevention activities. Additionally, you will be expected to contribute to the delivery of quality health care through implementation of evidencebased care and foster independence in management of health for both individuals and defined populations. After you complete the program, you will be eligible to take national certification examinations to become a certified family nurse practitioner. Purpose of the Guide The purpose of this guide is to acquaint students, preceptors and faculty to some of the elements composing the clinical education of FNP/DNP students. Occasionally there are program changes that take place over the school year. Faculty will keep you apprised of any changes via , the official method of communication for UTHSC. Please contact faculty if you have any questions not answered by this guide. Page 3 of 27

6 Expectations for DNP Students This document focuses on the clinical aspects of the DNP/FNP concentration. The general expectations for students in the College of Nursing are contained in the UTHSC Catalog and CenterScope which are located at: FNP students work with a number of faculty, staff and preceptors as a part of their clinical education. There are several official documents that must be executed prior to beginning any clinic assignment. You need to note which documents must be completed, by whom and when. Your faculty with the assistance of the Clinical Coordinator have the final responsibility to identify and assign your clinical site and preceptor. Student participation in the selection process is possible, particularly when there is desire for a specific experience and/or the student lives in an area without current participating preceptors. All clinical sites and preceptors are required to be approved and proper documents executed between them and the university prior to you beginning to see patients at the site. Student Responsibilities for Clinical Experiences 1. Review clinical course outcomes. You are responsible for knowing what you are to be learning and how your learning progresses in the course. 2. Meet with preceptor, if indicated. Some preceptors prefer to interview you prior to agreeing to work with you. If you are asked to interview, you should use the interview to your advantage. a. Provide the preceptor with an understanding of your level, ability, and personality. b. Enable the preceptor to assess if you will be a good fit for the clinical site and the population it serves. You can put your best foot forward by being prepared with a curriculum vitae (CV) or résumé. Scheduling of Clinical Experiences Clinical practicum experiences are scheduled at the convenience and availability of the preceptor. o Please don t expect preceptors to conform to a schedule that meets your employment needs. o You and the preceptor need to agree on the days and times you will be in the clinical agency prior to beginning. o Unless otherwise stated in the syllabus, you are expected to begin the clinical experience when the course starts and complete when the course ends. Enter the start and end dates, along with the days of the week for the entire time you will be at the clinical site, in Medatrax (the approved online program for tracking clinical experiences). Schedule a mid-term and final clinical evaluation with the preceptor. Page 6 of 27

7 Professional Dress and Behavior As a representative of UTHSC College of Nursing, you must present yourself professionally. Be respectful of preceptors, faculty, staff, patients and their families. Dress professionally and wear your UTHSC Student ID. A short lab coat with the UTHSC patch on left upper arm is appropriate unless the preceptor requests otherwise. You should follow the dress and OSHA standards for clinical attire of your clinical site. Express your appreciation to your for their assistance. They are volunteers supporting your education goals. Preparation for Clinical Experiences Verify appropriate attire, location, and time, and any necessary credentials before the first clinical day at the clinical agency. Discuss questions about computer access, the procedure for preceptor cosigning documents, eating and parking arrangements, and communication with other disciplines. Please clarify the preceptor s preferred method of notification in the event of a late arrival or absence. Learn something about the preceptor to acknowledge the preceptor's background and broaden your educational experience. CPR Certification: Students are responsible for maintaining current CPR certification. Should the certification expire during the time the student is in the program, students have the professional responsibility to recertify to remain current. Clinical experiences are not permitted unless CPR certification is current. The dates of coverage for certification are to be entered into Medatrax under the student s clinical site. Criminal Background Check: All students undergo a required criminal background check prior to beginning the program and annually. Any changes are required to be reported immediately by students as a condition of remaining in the program. Drug Screening: Students undergo a required urine drug screen prior to beginning the program and annually. In addition, drug screens may be required for cause, random screenings, or clinical agency requirements. Immunizations: The University requires that students complete a list of immunizations as well as TB skin testing prior to engaging in any patient care. These data are maintained by University Health Services. Some clinical agencies may have additional requirements for immunization, but students will be informed of these requirements. Page 7 of 27

8 Attendance in Assigned Clinical Experiences Attendance at the negotiated times and days with the preceptor is required. Unapproved absences for assigned clinical experiences are a violation of professional behavior and may result in disciplinary action. Immediately notify the preceptor and faculty if you are not able to attend a scheduled day. You will need to present a plan to make up missed experiences and have this approved by the faculty and preceptor. Notify faculty immediately if you find you are running into problems attaining the required number of clinical hours. Use of Medatrax to Track Experiences The FNP concentration uses the Medatrax system to record and maintain student and clinical data. Each student has a specific account Clinical encounters must be documented in Medatrax. Students upload and maintain current RN licensure and CPR certification. Students may also upload required clinical forms or complete other clinical assignments. Faculty review Medatrax to assure students are on track with both a variety of experiences and progressing toward completion of the experience in a timely manner. Approved preceptors and clinical sites are maintained in Medatrax. Expectations of Preceptor and Volunteer Faculty Page 8 of 27

Preceptors Who Wish to Be Appointed as Volunteer Faculty Page 9 of 27

10 The University of Tennessee recognizes the valuable contributions of people who give freely of their time and talents for the benefit of the University without compensation. The Tennessee legislature in the enactment of the Tennessee Claims Commission Act of 1984 recognized the need to protect volunteers from legal actions while performing their service on behalf of the University. Volunteers who are registered with the University enjoy civil immunity from liability under the Act. Volunteers are not covered for Worker's Compensation. We encourage preceptors to consider becoming Volunteer Faculty in the College of Nursing. The following information is required to be submitted and approved as Volunteer Faculty: Curriculum vitae or résumé Copy of current license 2 letters of recommendation from individuals who can speak about your professional qualifications Permit a background check Preceptors who wish to be recommended as volunteer faculty should notify a faculty member who will facilitate this process. Volunteer faculty are eligible for: Discounted Membership to the UTHSC Fitness Center Access to the UTHSC Library, including online journals, books, and databases (e.g., Upto-Date) Free evening and weekend UTHSC campus parking; and Discounted fees at the UTHSC Dental Clinic Expectations of Faculty Page 10 of 27

11 Prior to the beginning of a clinical assignment, faculty will: Verify appropriateness of clinical site and contractual agreements. Orient new preceptors to the preceptor role and College of Nursing educational expectations. Review preceptor responsibilities with continuing preceptors related to course and level of student. Prepare student for clinical experience including faculty specific communication requirements. Validate student qualifications for clinical practice. Understand the legal liability of the preceptor role. Throughout the course, faculty will: Have a first-hand knowledge of the clinical site through either an in-person or a virtual site visit. Work with the student and preceptor to assure the learning outcomes are being met. Monitor use of clinical guidelines and standards of care. Support student in refinement of effective communication. Alert student to focus on problem areas early to provide an opportunity to refine skills by when practicum is completed. Communicate with preceptor regularly to monitor student s progress in course. Evaluate students through direct observation and preceptor feedback using proper forms. Legal Agreement Requirements There are a number of documents that are require to be executed by the University of Tennessee prior to the beginning of any student clinical experience. Some of these are rather complex and can take from weeks to months to complete. Site Approval Each clinical site must have a current and valid contract between the clinical organization and the University of Tennessee. This agreement specifies the responsibilities of each organization and provides legal protections for both. All currently approved sites are listed in Medatrax but some may be difficult to find as the name of the organization may have changed since the initial approval. The Clinical Coordinator can assist in identifying approved sites. Preceptor/Volunteer Faculty All preceptors are to be appointed by the College of Nursing as a preceptor or volunteer faculty prior to accepting any students. This appointment provides recognition of the Page 11 of 27

12 responsibilities of the preceptor and provides legal protections as well. All approved preceptors are listed in Medatrax. Page 12 of 27

13 Appendix College of Nursing Forms for FNP Option The College of Nursing uses a number of different forms as a part of the program. Copies of these forms used in the FNP Option are shown. Many of these forms are to be uploaded into Medatrax so that they are associated with the student. The Student-Preceptor-Faculty Agreement is filled out and read by all parties concerned prior to beginning a preceptorship. The Confirmation of Student-Preceptor-Faculty Agreement to Clinical Preceptorship is filled out and signed by all parties concerned prior to beginning a preceptorship.
