Integrated Clinical Practicum: Hospital

Undergraduate

This precepted clinical experience engages the learner in opportunities to synthesize cumulative knowledge and skills in a variety of acute care 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 patient/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) to the care of patients and families with complex and changing health needs. This course includes experiential integrated rounds. (Prerequisite: Successful completion of all year 3 required courses.) (Co-requisite: NURS-4562.) (This is an experiential learning course.)
