NPCSI: Dual FNP/ENP (Family NP/ Emergency NP)

Students using a simulation human

All students in the Dual FNP/ENP (Family NP/ Emergency NP) specialty are required to attend two* mandatory on-campus Clinical Skills Intensives (CSI) provided by the USA Simulation Program beginning in 2024.

The first clinical skills intensive provides hands-on instruction for common advanced practice assessments and procedures pertinent to the specialty clinicals starting that fall. The third phase includes simulation scenarios and standardized patient encounters to demonstrate clinical skills for evaluation prior to completing the program. 

Students must sign-up to attend one session for each phase and can select preferred dates on a first come, first serve basis. Simulation will contact students with information via Jag Mail on how to sign- up three months prior to the scheduled dates.

Please note the dates are for Clinical Skills Intensives only. The track coordinator may provide orientation dates, which are separate from CSI and Simulation.
