Recommend a Fieldwork Project
Do you have a clinical, curriculum, system, or organizational issue that could use consultation or leadership from a Master of Nursing student?
Our Master of Nursing students engage with educational, clinical, and community organizations to address practical healthcare challenges during a course-based fieldwork which informs the development of their Capstone Project. From systems analysis to improving the health and wellbeing of populations, our students are poised to undertake a variety of projects in diverse settings. Students are experienced Registered Nurses who often possess leadership and teaching experience.
