What is the Campus Immersion?

Overview

Online AGACNP students and those earning the dual certification will attend one clinical immersion on the Rockhurst campus in Kansas City, Missouri for three days each of clinical instruction in the new, state-of-the-art simulation lab and renovated nursing facilities. Students will also engage in one virtual immersion to further hone their skills.

Campus Immersion Activities

  • Complete high-fidelity and low-fidelity simulations
  • Demonstrate competencies through an Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE)
