Clinical Education

The Academic Practice Integration Team connects didactic learning components to the clinical application of nursing skills when at the clinical site. At Jefferson College of Nursing (JCN), we strive to streamline and polish the process connecting these two areas. The Academic Practice Integration team is your conduit to help you achieve success at the clinical site.

This website will serve as a resource for all current students, instructors and preceptors, as well as for those interested in becoming a new Clinical Adjunct Instructor or Preceptor at the college.
