Begin maintaining your log in week one of the course.  Because you have been documenting clinical log time each week, it would be beneficial if you copy and paste that time into the final clinical log.  Just be sure to include descriptive detail so we can understand and credit you the time.?

All students are to keep a log of hours that are spent working with the preceptor and the implementation of their project in NRSE 4600. This log must tally a total of 21 true hours. You must account for lunch and breaks, these are not to be counted in your 21 hours (federal and state laws require that you take lunch breaks, etc). ?Count the 21 hours that are actually spent working with your preceptor (seeking advice or updating them on your project) and in the research, direct patient contact and the implementation of your project. The time spent must be described (describe specifically how your time was spent with the preceptor, what topics you researched, how you impacted patient outcomes and what you implemented), and total time may be spent:

• Minimum of 3 hours with preceptor
• Maximum of 6 hours on research of topic
• Minimum of 1-2 hours in direct patient contact 
• 10-11 hours in implementation of your project
• Total of 21 hours

As a reminder, the final preceptor log must include a descriptive detail of the clinical time.  For example;

• The log requires a description of the activity.  For example, what was accomplished with the preceptor, what was researched, what was implemented, direct engagement time activities :
• Meeting with preceptor to…
• Researched best practice to…
• Conducted a staff in-service to…
• Engaged with the patients on…
