NRNP PRAC 6635 Week 1 Assignment 3: Clinical Hour and Patient Logs

Clinical Hour Log

 

For this course, all practicum activity hours are logged within the Meditrek system. Hours completed must be logged in Meditrek within 48 hours of completion to be counted. You may only log hours with Preceptors that are approved in Meditrek. Students with catalog years before Spring 2018 must complete a minimum of 144 practicum hours. Students with catalog years beginning Spring 2018 must complete a minimum of 160 practicum hours.

 

You may not complete your hours sooner than 8 weeks.  By the end of Week 1, make sure you confirm your Preceptor and clinical faculty are set up in Meditrek.

 

Each log entry must be linked with an individual practicum learning objective or a graduate program objective. You should track your hours in Meditrek as they are completed.
