Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Purpose The purpose of this project was to develop an ambulatory clinical practicum for clinical nurse specialist (CNS) students in rural and underserved Eastern North Carolina. Description of the Program A 14-week clinical practicum was designed for CNS students who participated in a Health Resources and Services Administration Advanced Nursing Education Workforce grant-sponsored program entitled "Advanced Practice Registered Nurse RURAL Scholars Program."The objectives of the clinical practicum were to increase student competence in ambulatory care, identify critical knowledge and competencies in CNS ambulatory care, and determine potential opportunities for CNS practice in ambulatory settings. Outcome Students demonstrated increased awareness and interest in specific health challenges faced by rural and underserved communities and became aware of services available for individuals with complex healthcare needs. Deficiencies in the CNS curricula regarding ambulatory care were identified by students. Although the value of the CNS in ambulatory practice was appreciated by students, staff, and preceptors alike, opportunities for employment in ambulatory settings in rural and underserved communities continue to remain a challenge. Conclusion Student experiences in an ambulatory care CNS clinical practicum support the need for the development of knowledge and competencies in ambulatory care that will allow for the expansion of CNS practice in rural and underserved communities.
