NURS 450 Public/Community Health Clinical Experience (created during NURS 410 course)
Student Learning Goals and Objectives
In preparation for the NURS 450 Public/Community Health Clinical Experience, the student will reflect on the personal objectives that they wish
to accomplish during the precepted experience. Below are the NURS 450 Student Learning Objectives that the student will focus on during the
clinical practicum. Students will complete the “Student Goals,” “Student Objectives,” and “Projected Means of Meeting Student Goals” for each
“NURS 450 Student Learning Objective.” The student will also add one additional personal goal and objectives, not specific to a NURS 450
Student Learning Objectives, reflecting on what they would like to learn and experience during the precepted experience.
During the first student visit with the clinical preceptor during the NURS 450 course, the student will be discussing their Student Learning Goals
and Objectives as well as the Projected Means of Meeting the Student Goals with their clinical preceptor, prior to the initiation of their practicum
time.

Student Learning Goals and Objectives Module
Module Objective: The student is able to prepare for the upcoming NURS 450
Public/Community Health Clinical Experience by creating clear goals and objectives.
Introduction:
It is very exciting time for you to arrange your community/public health clinical site and start
planning your time with your preceptor in NURS 450, when you will spend 75 hours with your
BSN prepared nurse preceptor. After you get to know more about the community/population that
you will serve while spending time with your preceptor, you will be able to write projected goals
and objectives for your time spent with your preceptor at your clinical sites. Following
successful completion of this module, you will be ready to write your goals and objectives for
your NURS 450 course experience.
Review/Resources:
Throughout your time as a nursing student, and while practicing nursing, you have written
SMART goals and objectives for various situations, including patient care. Most recently, you
have written goals and objectives as part of your NURS 400 course. Writing goals and objectives
for your experience in the NURS 450 course is very similar. To assist you, I have compiled a
brief review of writing goals and objectives to prepare you to write your goals and objectives for
your NURS 450 course.
To review, what are goals and objectives? What is the difference between SMART goals and
objectives?
First, what is the SMART criteria?
S
Specific
M
Measurable
A
Achievable
R
Relevant
T
Time-Bound
What will be accomplished? What
actions will you take?
What data will measure the goal? How
much? How well?
Is the goal doable? Do you have the
necessary skills and resources?
How does the goal align with broader
goals? Why is the result important?
What is the timeframe for
accomplishing the goal?
What are SMART goals?
• A goal is an overarching statement that guides decision making. Goals should be high
level enough to encompass the core outcomes for which you are responsible, but specific
and clear enough so you will be able to measure success.
Updated 7-30-21
•
Statement of important results and designed in a way to foster clear and mutual
understanding of expected levels of performance.
Example:
A goal I have for the NURS 450 course, as an instructor, is for students to develop an increased
understanding of community/public health nursing by spending 75 hours with a BSN prepared
nurse by the end of the NURS 450 course.
What are SMART objectives? Objectives are specific, measurable steps that can be taken to
meet the goal. Objectives can be written in a manner that implicitly or explicitly outlines
important conditions/criterion. Measurable objectives are specific statements expressing the
desired qualities of key services; and the expected results of the services/experience. Objectives
should state:
•Who is involved: You as the student or the people/patient/client whose behaviors, knowledge
and/or skills are to be changed as a result of the program.
•What are the desired outcomes: The intended behavior, knowledge and/or skill changes that
should result from the program or activities.
•How progress is measured: What tool or device (surveys, tests, data from other sources) will be
used to measure the expected changes.
•When will the outcome occur: Identify the timeframe for success. (speaks to timeline per
SMART criteria)
Example
An objective I have is to formulate one contract for all NURS 450 clinical sites before the
beginning of NURS 450.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Assignment
Preparation: Please use the following resources to prepare for writing your goals and objectives
for your NURS 450 course.
1) Discover how to develop SMART learning goals. Using SMART goals and objectives helps
to create clarity in goals and objectives and provide a clear idea of what you want to learn. Here
is a valuable resource for you as you write your goals for your upcoming NURS 450 course
experience: http://www.cno.org/globalassets/docs/qa/2019/smart-goals-2019.pdf
2) Reinforce your learning about SMART learning goals with this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9TuE4--IuY
Updated 7-30-21
3) You are doing great! Now that you have discovered more about SMART goals, you are
probably starting to think about goals and objectives for your upcoming NURS 450 course
experience. Many students have reported that writing goals and objectives surrounding
community /public health nursing is very different for them, in comparison to writing goals and
objectives for their individual patients. Here is an additional resource available for you to think
more specifically about writing objectives in the community/public health arena:
http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/opi/qi/toolbox/objectives.html
4) You are one step closer to writing your SMART goals and objectives. Lastly, as you think
about writing goals, you need to consider how to write your goals to describe your level of
expertise in the subject matter. For example, as you write your goals for your NURS 450 course,
your level of expertise is much higher than a student just entering their first nursing
course/program. I have provided a link to Bloom’s Taxonomy of Action Verbs within this
module. You will find this resource in the Student Learning Goals and Objectives Module in the
NURS 410/Materials/Content/Student Learning Goals and Objectives Module. This resource
should be used to guide your goals. Remember that the action verbs can help you describe your
level of expertise. Students in this course should use higher order verbs, as this is a senior
level nursing course. Looking at Bloom’s taxonomy, Level 1 Action Verbs are about
Remembering, and Level 2 Action Verbs are about Understanding. These are lower order verbs
that students new to nursing programs would utilize. Since students in this course are already
nurses, higher order verbs should be utilized for goals and objectives. Level 3 Applying and
Level 4 Analyzing Action Verbs may be used, however Level 5 Evaluating and Level 6
Creating Action Verbs are encouraged to be used.
To summarize:
• A SMART goal is an overarching statement that guides decision making and the
intention of the student.
•
A SMART objective has specific, measurable steps that can be taken to meet the goal.
•
A SMART goal/objective is:
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Relevant
Time-limited
•
Bloom’s Taxonomy Higher level action verbs are most appropriate to use for your goals
for this assignment.
Great job! Now that you have prepared to create goals and objectives for your upcoming NURS
450 course you may take the Student Goals and Objectives Quiz. You will find this quiz in the
Student Learning Goals and Objectives Module in the NURS 410/Materials/Content/Student
Learning Goals and Objectives Module.
Once you have completed your practicum proposal and the quiz, you are ready to start creating
your goals and objectives for your NURS 450 course!
Updated 7-30-21
Writing your NURS 450 Student Learning Goals and Objectives
The grading rubric for the NURS 450 Student Learning Goals and Objectives is available in the
NURS 410 syllabus, as well as at the end of this document. A template has been provided for
you to use as you write your NURS 450 Student Learning Goals and Objectives. You must use
the specific template provided – as the final product of your Student Learning Goals and
Objectives will be taken with you to your preceptor site in your NURS 450 course.
You will note the template has four Student Learning Objectives already listed for you. You
must use this template for the assignment requirements. These are the objectives from the
NURS 450 Syllabus. Your task, for each of these Student Learning Objectives, is to create a
goal, an objective, and describe how you plan to meet this goal. Lastly, you will see an area
available for you to add one more goal and objective of your personal choice. You need to add
one personal goal, which will really help your preceptor learn about what you want to get out of
this experience.
Sometimes students have struggled with including a Projected Means of Meeting Student
Goals/Objectives. Your projected means of meeting student goals/objectives is basically what
you think you will be able to do to meet your goal and objective. Let me give you an example
outside of the clinical context that may help. As noted above, I wrote a goal and objective for
myself:
A Goal I have for the NURS 450 course, as an instructor, is for students to develop an increased
understanding of community/public health nursing by spending 75 hours with a BSN prepared
nurse by the end of the NURS 450 course.
An Objective I have is to formulate one contract for all NURS 450 clinical sites before the
beginning of NURS 450.
My Projected Means of Meeting Student Goals/Objectives is that I will contact each clinical
site as soon as I receive the contact information for the site so I can start arranging a contract
with them. This will lead to a clinical experience for the student - which will help me meet my
goal.
Other outcome examples include:
What is the outcome?
•Change in achievement
•Change in behavior
•Change in attitude
How is it measured?
•Assessment
•Incidence of behavior
•Student log
Updated 7-30-21
What is the outcome?
•Knowledge
•Skill
•Attitude
How is it measured?
•Achievement/production
•Observation
•Logs
•Assessment
•Surveys
•Output
I hope you can see how the goal, objective, and projected means of meeting student goals and
objective all flow together.
I am sure you realize that you will learn much more about your upcoming clinical site once you
begin to spend time with your preceptor. At this point in time, use the knowledge you have
about the clinical site, and the role of your preceptor, to complete this assignment. You will take
this document with you when you first meet with your preceptor in your NURS 450 course. At
that time, your preceptor will review your goals and objectives with you – and suggest necessary
changes if the goals and objectives you have written are not feasible in that clinical setting.
Preceptors really appreciate the thought and effort you have put into these goals so they can
initially get to know you through your goals and objectives and get an idea about what you
would like to get out to the NURS 450 clinical experience.
Please note that a draft review option for your Student Learning Goals and Objectives is
available to you. I would encourage everyone to use this resource. This draft review is not a
requirement however, students who have used this resource in the past seem to be more satisfied
with the end result of this assignment. To submit a draft review of your Student Learning Goals
and Objectives, please submit your draft copy in the NURS 410 Student Learning Goals and
Objectives Draft Review Assignment Dropbox by the due date, 11-14-21 at 11:59pm.
Once your Student Learning Goals and Objectives are completed, you will place the final
assignment in the NURS 410 Student Learning Goals and Objectives assignment drop box,
which is due, 11-21-21 at 11:59 pm.

Student Learning Goals and Objectives Module
Module Objective: The student is able to prepare for the upcoming NURS 450
Public/Community Health Clinical Experience by creating clear goals and objectives.
Introduction:
It is very exciting time for you to arrange your community/public health clinical site and start
planning your time with your preceptor in NURS 450, when you will spend 75 hours with your
BSN prepared nurse preceptor. After you get to know more about the community/population that
you will serve while spending time with your preceptor, you will be able to write projected goals
and objectives for your time spent with your preceptor at your clinical sites. Following
successful completion of this module, you will be ready to write your goals and objectives for
your NURS 450 course experience.
Review/Resources:
Throughout your time as a nursing student, and while practicing nursing, you have written
SMART goals and objectives for various situations, including patient care. Most recently, you
have written goals and objectives as part of your NURS 400 course. Writing goals and objectives
for your experience in the NURS 450 course is very similar. To assist you, I have compiled a
brief review of writing goals and objectives to prepare you to write your goals and objectives for
your NURS 450 course.
To review, what are goals and objectives? What is the difference between SMART goals and
objectives?
First, what is the SMART criteria?
S
Specific
M
Measurable
A
Achievable
R
Relevant
T
Time-Bound
What will be accomplished? What
actions will you take?
What data will measure the goal? How
much? How well?
Is the goal doable? Do you have the
necessary skills and resources?
How does the goal align with broader
goals? Why is the result important?
What is the timeframe for
accomplishing the goal?
What are SMART goals?
• A goal is an overarching statement that guides decision making. Goals should be high
level enough to encompass the core outcomes for which you are responsible, but specific
and clear enough so you will be able to measure success.
Updated 7-30-21
•
Statement of important results and designed in a way to foster clear and mutual
understanding of expected levels of performance.
Example:
A goal I have for the NURS 450 course, as an instructor, is for students to develop an increased
understanding of community/public health nursing by spending 75 hours with a BSN prepared
nurse by the end of the NURS 450 course.
What are SMART objectives? Objectives are specific, measurable steps that can be taken to
meet the goal. Objectives can be written in a manner that implicitly or explicitly outlines
important conditions/criterion. Measurable objectives are specific statements expressing the
desired qualities of key services; and the expected results of the services/experience. Objectives
should state:
•Who is involved: You as the student or the people/patient/client whose behaviors, knowledge
and/or skills are to be changed as a result of the program.
•What are the desired outcomes: The intended behavior, knowledge and/or skill changes that
should result from the program or activities.
•How progress is measured: What tool or device (surveys, tests, data from other sources) will be
used to measure the expected changes.
•When will the outcome occur: Identify the timeframe for success. (speaks to timeline per
SMART criteria)
Example
An objective I have is to formulate one contract for all NURS 450 clinical sites before the
beginning of NURS 450.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Assignment
Preparation: Please use the following resources to prepare for writing your goals and objectives
for your NURS 450 course.
1) Discover how to develop SMART learning goals. Using SMART goals and objectives helps
to create clarity in goals and objectives and provide a clear idea of what you want to learn. Here
is a valuable resource for you as you write your goals for your upcoming NURS 450 course
experience: http://www.cno.org/globalassets/docs/qa/2019/smart-goals-2019.pdf
2) Reinforce your learning about SMART learning goals with this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9TuE4--IuY
Updated 7-30-21
3) You are doing great! Now that you have discovered more about SMART goals, you are
probably starting to think about goals and objectives for your upcoming NURS 450 course
experience. Many students have reported that writing goals and objectives surrounding
community /public health nursing is very different for them, in comparison to writing goals and
objectives for their individual patients. Here is an additional resource available for you to think
more specifically about writing objectives in the community/public health arena:
http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/opi/qi/toolbox/objectives.html
4) You are one step closer to writing your SMART goals and objectives. Lastly, as you think
about writing goals, you need to consider how to write your goals to describe your level of
expertise in the subject matter. For example, as you write your goals for your NURS 450 course,
your level of expertise is much higher than a student just entering their first nursing
course/program. I have provided a link to Bloom’s Taxonomy of Action Verbs within this
module. You will find this resource in the Student Learning Goals and Objectives Module in the
NURS 410/Materials/Content/Student Learning Goals and Objectives Module. This resource
should be used to guide your goals. Remember that the action verbs can help you describe your
level of expertise. Students in this course should use higher order verbs, as this is a senior
level nursing course. Looking at Bloom’s taxonomy, Level 1 Action Verbs are about
Remembering, and Level 2 Action Verbs are about Understanding. These are lower order verbs
that students new to nursing programs would utilize. Since students in this course are already
nurses, higher order verbs should be utilized for goals and objectives. Level 3 Applying and
Level 4 Analyzing Action Verbs may be used, however Level 5 Evaluating and Level 6
Creating Action Verbs are encouraged to be used.
To summarize:
• A SMART goal is an overarching statement that guides decision making and the
intention of the student.
•
A SMART objective has specific, measurable steps that can be taken to meet the goal.
•
A SMART goal/objective is:
Specific
Measurable
Attainable

Time-limited
•
Bloom’s Taxonomy Higher level action verbs are most appropriate to use for your goals
for this assignment.
Great job! Now that you have prepared to create goals and objectives for your upcoming NURS
450 course you may take the Student Goals and Objectives Quiz. You will find this quiz in the
Student Learning Goals and Objectives Module in the NURS 410/Materials/Content/Student
Learning Goals and Objectives Module.
Once you have completed your practicum proposal and the quiz, you are ready to start creating
your goals and objectives for your NURS 450 course!
Updated 7-30-21
Writing your NURS 450 Student Learning Goals and Objectives
The grading rubric for the NURS 450 Student Learning Goals and Objectives is available in the
NURS 410 syllabus, as well as at the end of this document. A template has been provided for
you to use as you write your NURS 450 Student Learning Goals and Objectives. You must use
the specific template provided – as the final product of your Student Learning Goals and
Objectives will be taken with you to your preceptor site in your NURS 450 course.
You will note the template has four Student Learning Objectives already listed for you. You
must use this template for the assignment requirements. These are the objectives from the
NURS 450 Syllabus. Your task, for each of these Student Learning Objectives, is to create a
goal, an objective, and describe how you plan to meet this goal. Lastly, you will see an area
available for you to add one more goal and objective of your personal choice. You need to add
one personal goal, which will really help your preceptor learn about what you want to get out of
this experience.
Sometimes students have struggled with including a Projected Means of Meeting Student
Goals/Objectives. Your projected means of meeting student goals/objectives is basically what
you think you will be able to do to meet your goal and objective. Let me give you an example
outside of the clinical context that may help. As noted above, I wrote a goal and objective for
myself:
A Goal I have for the NURS 450 course, as an instructor, is for students to develop an increased
understanding of community/public health nursing by spending 75 hours with a BSN prepared
nurse by the end of the NURS 450 course.
An Objective I have is to formulate one contract for all NURS 450 clinical sites before the
beginning of NURS 450.
My Projected Means of Meeting Student Goals/Objectives is that I will contact each clinical
site as soon as I receive the contact information for the site so I can start arranging a contract
with them. This will lead to a clinical experience for the student - which will help me meet my
goal.
Other outcome examples include:
What is the outcome?
•Change in achievement
•Change in behavior
•Change in attitude
How is it measured?
•Assessment
•Incidence of behavior
•Student log
Updated 7-30-21
What is the outcome?
•Knowledge
•Skill
•Attitude
How is it measured?
•Achievement/production
•Observation
•Logs
•Assessment
•Surveys
•Output
I hope you can see how the goal, objective, and projected means of meeting student goals and
objective all flow together.
I am sure you realize that you will learn much more about your upcoming clinical site once you
begin to spend time with your preceptor. At this point in time, use the knowledge you have
about the clinical site, and the role of your preceptor, to complete this assignment. You will take
this document with you when you first meet with your preceptor in your NURS 450 course. At
that time, your preceptor will review your goals and objectives with you – and suggest necessary
changes if the goals and objectives you have written are not feasible in that clinical setting.
Preceptors really appreciate the thought and effort you have put into these goals so they can
initially get to know you through your goals and objectives and get an idea about what you
would like to get out to the NURS 450 clinical experience.
Please note that a draft review option for your Student Learning Goals and Objectives is
available to you. I would encourage everyone to use this resource. This draft review is not a
requirement however, students who have used this resource in the past seem to be more satisfied
with the end result of this assignment. To submit a draft review of your Student Learning Goals
and Objectives, please submit your draft copy in the NURS 410 Student Learning Goals and
Objectives Draft Review Assignment Dropbox by the due date, 11-14-21 at 11:59pm.
Once your Student Learning Goals and Objectives are completed, you will place the final
assignment in the NURS 410 Student Learning Goals and Objectives assignment drop box,
which is due, 11-21-21 at 11:59 pm.
