Chamberlain University expands its Practice
Ready. Specialty Focused.™ program to include the Critical Care
Nursing Course in partnership with the American Association of
Critical-Care Nurses, preparing students to enter the high-demand
specialty.
Adtalem Global Education (NYSE: ATGE), the number one provider
of healthcare education in the U.S.1, and the American Association
of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN), the world’s largest specialty
nursing organization, have partnered to offer the Critical Care
Nursing Practice Ready. Specialty Focused.™ (PRSF) course at
Chamberlain University. Designed specifically for Bachelor of
Science nursing students who are interested in critical care
nursing, this course acquaints pre-licensure students with
specialty-focused education and clinical experience that helps
prepare them to enter a nursing career in progressive and critical
care.
Critical care nursing focuses on the care of critically ill or
unstable patients following an extensive injury, surgery or
life-threatening event. Together, AACN and Chamberlain University
developed a 15-module course that provides eligible students with
entry level knowledge and clinical concepts to jumpstart their
practice readiness to ultimately provide optimal care to acutely
and critically ill patients and their families. Students enrolled
in the Critical Care PRSF course will learn various areas of
critical and progressive care nursing practices, such as pulmonary,
hematology, and cardiac.
While nursing shortages vary by specialty and geographic
location, nurses leaving the profession is widespread. In the
critical care specialty, 27% of critical care nurses are estimated
to leave the profession, making it even more important to ensure
the next generation of nurses are prepared to enter this
specialty.
“Nationwide, healthcare systems are experiencing critical
staffing shortages, a shortage that is especially prevalent in
specialties like critical care nursing, where thorough training and
onboarding for new nurses is vital due to the intense level of care
provided to patients,” said Karen Cox, PhD, RN, FACHE, FAAN,
president, Chamberlain University. “At Chamberlain University, we
graduate practice-ready-clinicians and do so by collaborating with
organizations like AACN to develop specialty modules, like the
Critical Care PRSF course, which provides students with the
knowledge and real-life skills needed to thrive in the workforce
and effectively help solve for the nursing shortage experienced
across the industry.”
The Critical Care PRSF course teaches students the level of care
that is vital for the intense and continuous patient attention,
monitoring and coordination needed for patients at a high risk for
potential life-threatening health challenges. In addition to
completing the course with the understanding, knowledge and skills
needed to enter the critical care nursing specialty, students will
also receive a one-year membership to AACN, where they can take
advantage of the free educational resources and, more importantly,
the supportive community of critical care nurses.
“Nursing associations, like AACN, and our academic institutions,
like Chamberlain University, are uniquely positioned as strong
collaborative partners to support students and new nurses for a
successful transition to practice. Students benefit from the
combination of Chamberlain’s foundational education required to be
a registered nurse, plus AACN’s specialized expertise in critical
care. We believe these students will be better prepared for a
successful unit orientation, ultimately leading to a successful
transition to independent practice providing optimal patient care.”
said AACN Chief Clinical Officer Vicki Good, DNP, RN, CENP,
CPPS.
Chamberlain University BSN students may enroll for this PRSF
course on critical care nursing starting in fall of 2024.
Additional PRSF courses offered at various Chamberlain
University campuses include nephrology, emergency nursing,
perioperative, and home healthcare nursing. Funded by a grant from
the American Nurses Foundation, the PRSF program is part of
Adtalem’s dedicated efforts to prepare students to enter into the
healthcare workforce as practice-ready clinicians, helping to
address the nationwide healthcare workforce shortage.
