Nursing Education in a Home Health Care Practicum

George Mason University

As our health care delivery system has undergone profound change in the past decade, providers are expanding services from inpatient facilities to a variety of alternative settings, including home health care. Academic programs offering nursing education are recognizing the need to parallel this trend and have been placing student nurses in community-based and home care settings for clinical experience. Careful attention to curriculum development and effective management of students in a home care practicum can help ensure adequate preparation of graduate nurses who are likely to be employed in a variety of outpatient settings, including home health care.
