Creating a Learning Plan for Prelicensure Students in Primary Care Clinical Experiences.

Background: Registered nurses (RNs) working to the full scope of licensed practice can expand the capacity of the health care system and influence patient care quality. However, preparation of prelicensure nursing students to practice in primary care is particularly challenging due to curricular and practice site barriers.

Approach: As part of a federally funded project to expand the primary care RN workforce, learning activities to teach key concepts of primary care nursing were designed and implemented.
