Capstone Experience

Some hospital systems require a resume to be submitted with their specialty capstone application.  Please submit an updated resume.  You must use the template provided in your leadership course resume assignment.

In order to be considered for specialty capstone placement, you must have a minimum of a Level 2 on all ATIs.  Please note, you may take each ATI a maximum of three times to achieve a Level 2.  This includes taking ATI exams for a second time when retaking a course.  To schedule your ATI retakes, please see Barb Jones, Executive Administrative Assistant.

**DUE TO COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING STUDENTS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO RETAKE PROCTORED ATI EXAMS FOR THE FALL 2020 QUARTER. DURING THIS TIME THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE WAIVED; HOWEVER, STUDENTS ARE STILL REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THEIR FULL ATI TRANSCRIPTS FOR CONSIDERATION.  ALL ATTEMPTS WILL BE MADE TO RESUME ATI RETAKES IN THE WINTER 2021 QUARTER**

The letter of intent should be an explanation of why you want a specialty capstone placement, and why you think the placement is warranted.  This letter may include items such as your GPA, volunteer work, or current employment.  It is important for the clinical team at Platt College to know if you work at a healthcare facility, as some locations require this information prior to capstone acceptance.

You must obtain a recommendation letter from your didactic instructor in the specialty area you are applying.  If that faculty member is no longer employed at Platt College, please contact the Associate Dean for additional instructions. Recommendation letters from clinical faculty are highly encouraged.  You may also submit recommendation letters from current or past employers.
