Outcomes

• Promote a culture of safety by consistently applying infection prevention measures, medication safety principles, and patient identification protocols during skills, simulation, and clinical experiences to prevent harm to patients, families, and healthcare team members, as measured by 100% successful completion of required skills validations and clinical safety evaluations.
• Communicate clinical findings and clinical judgment effectively by providing timely, accurate verbal and written reports to the supervising registered nurse, members of the healthcare team, and patients and families, using structured communication tools (e.g., SBAR) to support continuity of care and positive patient outcomes, as evaluated by clinical and simulation rubrics.
• Apply the nursing process by collecting focused assessment data, contributing to plans of care, implementing nursing interventions, and reporting patient responses for individuals with normal and chronic health conditions across the lifespan, within the LPN scope of practice and in accordance with Ohio Board of Nursing standards, as evaluated through clinical performance tools, simulation scenarios, and concept-based exams.
• Provide safe, evidence-based, patient-centered nursing care to pediatric, adult, and geriatric patients by adapting interventions to developmental stage, culture, values, and preferences in patients with chronic or stable health conditions, under RN or provider supervision, as demonstrated through clinical evaluations, simulation, and case-based exams.
