Nursing Programs – On-Campus Intensives
Students in the Family Nurse Practitioner program at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences (USAHS) come to campus once during their program for an intensive, hands-on learning experience. During the intensive, students practice clinical skills using mannequins and simulated patient scenarios, giving them an opportunity to apply what they’ve learned in their online coursework.
The experience allows students to practice skills, ask questions, and receive guidance from faculty in person. Students describe the intensive as a valuable opportunity to build confidence before moving into their clinical experiences.
The on-campus intensive adds a hands-on component to the online nursing program, giving students dedicated time to practice clinical skills and work through simulated patient situations with faculty support.
