Campus Immersions
ABSN Program Campus Residency
During the first semester, ABSN students will attend Rockhurst’s campus in Kansas City, Missouri for 10 days of clinical instruction in our new, state-of-the-art simulation lab and direct patient care in our renovated nursing facilities. In this immersive clinical experience, students will:
- Receive hands-on instruction from the Rockhurst faculty.
- Practice their skills.
- Complete high- and low-fidelity simulation.
- Demonstrate competencies in various critical elements.
Students will have direct patient care experience through clinical rotations which are conducted in small groups under the direct supervision of University faculty. These clinical experiences will expose students to the spheres of care in which professional nurses require expertise, such as skilled nursing, hospice, and long-term, acute care settings.
Following the campus residency, students will return home for the remainder of the program where they will continue their online coursework. Additionally, they will complete the rest of their clinical hours at a predetermined site under the direct supervision of a licensed RN preceptor and the indirect supervision of a Rockhurst clinical faculty supervisor.
