- A practicing or currently registered nurse who is NOT inactive and desires to update their nursing knowledge and earn Nursing Contact Hours may also take this course and may only choose to take the Part 1 course. Please check with the IBON as to your status and requirements.

- You will work with the faculty liaison to set up the clinical partnership and preceptor experience in an acute care setting.
- You will work with the IBON to acquire a limited authorization to practice, in order to complete the required clinical experience.
- You will work scheduled shifts that consist of 8-12 hour shifts (may include days, evenings, nights or weekends) these are scheduled in advance and in coordination with the clinical preceptor at your site.
- You as the student will develop learning objectives, complete clinical time log and weekly journal.
- You will also collaborate with the DMACC teaching faculty and preceptors for your formative and summative clinical evaluations and will provide a written summary of the learning that was achieved during the clinical experience.

The Victim Impact Awareness class is an educational program designed to teach offenders about the human consequences of crime. In a safe environment, offenders are taught how crime affects the victim and the victim's family, friends, and community, and how it also affects them and their own families, friends, and communities. Specific modules address victimization, property crimes, drugs and society, child maltreatment, assault, robbery, violent crimes, gang mentality, and restorative justice. A key element of the classes is the direct involvement of victims and victim service providers. They tell their personal stories of being victimized or of helping victims to reconstruct their lives after a traumatic crime. Offenders learn the ripple effect caused by crime and understand the value of repairing harm.
