Room: Valley of The Sun C

This session focuses on an ongoing academic-practice collaboration and joint development of a 3-Phased Radiology Immersion Experience (RIE) for undergraduate nursing students. Presenters will discuss the implementation of Phase I (Group Immersion in Radiology); Phase II (Clinical Experience with Nurse Preceptors in Radiology), and Phase III (Extended Practicum Experience in Radiology). The RIE curriculum, student surveys, and standardized testing will be shared. Lessons learned will be discussed on this ongoing journey aimed at exposing students to radiology nursing, advancing student nurse knowledge of radiology at the point-of-care, and potentially generating interest in radiology as a career choice in the future.
