Integrated Clinical Practicum: Community

Undergraduate

508 Winter 2027 Undergraduate Calendar This precepted clinical experience engages the learner in opportunities to synthesize cumulative knowledge and skills in a variety of community practice settings, and with populations across the lifespan. The emphasis is on demonstrating proficiency in select entry-to-practice competencies and enacting the role of nurse as care coordinator to support safe transitions in care and client/family navigation of the healthcare system. The learner will independently apply all core curricular concepts (i.e., critical thinking, knowledge-based practice, evidence-informed decision making, health, teaching/learning, professional practice, communication, leadership, collaboration, quality, safety, person-family centred care and health informatics) within the context of community as client. This course includes experiential integrated rounds. (Prerequisites: successful completion of all year 3 courses; corequisite: NURS-4572) (This is an experiential learning course.) NURS 4571. Experiential Learning Lab VII This is the seventh in a sequence of seven onsite experiential learning labs in which the learner will integrate knowledge-based principles with clinical reasoning and clinical judgment to formulate, evaluate, and revise nursing care for specialized populations across the lifespan, in various settings, and in changing contexts. Interactive simulated scenarios assess mastery of competencies required for entry-to-nursing practice. The case-based scenarios will emphasize the nurse coordination role and enable the learner to apply concepts of leadership, followership, collaboration, communication, and principles of delegation and prioritization. (Prerequisite: Successful completion of all year 3 fall required courses.) (Co-requisites: NURS- 4150, NURS- 4980, NURS- 4990.)
