Integrative Practicum Program

Integrative Practicum (NRS 224B)

Integrative Practicum (IP) is the final clinical course of the Registered Nursing (RN) Program at Lane Community College. Each student is paired with a working registered nurse at a hospital or facility in the community who serves as the student's preceptor for the term. The student provides direct patient care under the preceptor's supervision, integrating the nursing skills and knowledge obtained in all previous nursing courses. LCC nursing instructors maintain a meaningful presence throughout the term, frequently visiting and providing support to the student and preceptor while ensuring that nursing program learning outcomes are met. Successful completion of IP indicates that the student is well-prepared to begin independent professional practice following graduation, passage of the NCLEX-RN exam, and attainment of nursing licensure.

The Integrative Practicum Program relies on the generous participation of the many experienced and talented register nurses who serve as preceptors each spring term. If you are a staff nurse providing direct patient care for at least 24 hours per week, have at least two years full-time experience (or less, with management's approval), and are interested in sharing your expertise with a student, please consider applying to be a preceptor by completing the form below.

If you are already an IP preceptor, you can access the IP Preceptor Orientation Manual here.

I will meet with my student to establish a schedule, but prefer to contact my student directly. Please send student name and phone number when that becomes available.

Your faculty liaison will meet with you after March 30th to review your role as a Preceptor. Your assigned student will begin attempting to contact you in March. Please watch for unfamiliar emails going to your spam folder, or unfamiliar calls/texts on your phone.

What to expect next:

Your application will be gathered by the LCC Nursing Clinical Coordinator, Aimee Kruger, who will give them to the Student Placement Coordinator, Clinical Educator, or managers at your facility, who will follow their facility processes for approving preceptors. A list of approved preceptors will then be sent back to Aimee, who will work with the nursing faculty to assign the students. The facility you work at will let you know if you are chosen as a preceptor, although you may also receive communication from Aimee as well. If you are not chosen as a preceptor for LCC and have questions about that, please contact your manager. Thank you for applying to be a preceptor - we couldn't do this without you!
