Professional Nursing IV: Transition to Practice

Undergraduate

This is the last in a sequence of four courses addressing professional nursing practice. This course is designed to facilitate mastery of the skills and competencies needed to transition from the role of nursing student to registered nurse. Emphasis is placed on the nurse’s role and responsibilities in coordinating patient/client care across settings, sectors, and systems, including supporting continuity of care and safe care transitions. Selected curricular concepts (i.e., knowledge-based practice, clinical reasoning, clinical judgement, safety) are integrated to promote independent nurse decision-making and to help prepare learners for nursing registration examinations (NCLEX-RN, Jurisprudence Exam). (Prerequisite: Successful completion of all year 3 required courses.) (Co-requisites: NURS-4571, NURS-4980, NURS- 4990.) (Anti-requisite: NURS-4730.)
