Practice experiences are supported by seminars, which provide opportunities to examine theories and concepts for discussion, exploration, and integration. Praxis involves the examination of the dynamic interplay between theory and practice. Praxis is actualized by critical reflection, journaling, and active participation in nursing practice seminars. Participants also explore the role of the nurse in relation to the promotion of health and healing.
Participants have opportunities to influence change through work with organizations, policies, or health issues at a group (may include family), community, or societal level. This may occur in settings where health/health care may, or may not, be the primary mandate. Participants design an evolving learning contract with the community contact, outlining their commitment for participation during the practice experience.
