Capstone experiences are increasingly expected at the conclusion of undergraduate curricula. For some programs, the capstone project is a thesis or paper; for nursing, a clinical experience that synthesizes prior learning is the norm. In Kentucky, nursing programs are required to provide the opportunity for students to spend 120 hours in a clinical setting just prior to graduation. The authors evaluated an innovative approach to providing these hours during the last 7 weeks of the nursing program.
在本科课程结束时，越来越期望有顶点体验。对于一些项目来说，顶点项目是一篇论文；而对于护理专业，综合先前所学知识的临床体验才是常态。在肯塔基州，护理项目被要求为学生提供在毕业前于临床环境中度过120小时的机会。作者评估了一种在护理项目最后7周提供这些时长的创新方法。
