THEORY AND CLINIC LABORATORY HOURS Credit hour allocation follows the standard university ratio of one semester credit hour for one clock hour of class time and one semester credit hour for every three clock hours of clinical experience. One course, NURS Health Assessment has a ratio of two clock hours of intensive laboratory experience to one course credit. The reason for a different ratio for this health assessment laboratory is the intensity of the clinical laboratory experience in contrast to a field clinical experience. is a practice discipline, requiring substantial hands on clinical experience in support of classroom learning. Beginning students require more background classroom learning and supportive laboratory instruction, whereas advanced students require increased hours of clinical field experience in preparation for transition to the nursing workplace.
