Faculty will facilitate the student's integration of nursing theory and promote the development of critical inquiry, clinical reasoning and judgement through learning activities such as decision-making analysis, discussion, reflective writing, and practice appraisal.
This is a mastery course. The means of assessment are consistent with the Douglas College Evaluation Policy. The instructor's course outline will be available to students by the first class and list the evaluative components of the course.
Upon the successful completion of the course, students will be able, with assistance, to:
1. Apply the BSN Department's Conceptual Framework including:
- Curriculum themes (critical inquiry, leadership, and relational practice);
- Curriculum threads (health promotion, interprofessional collaboration, teaching and learning, nursing art and science, and health);
- The ethic of care;
2. Integrate concurrent nursing theory, concepts, and knowledge into clinical practices;
3. Demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and judgment to provide safe, competent, ethical, compassionate, and evidence-informed care as outlined in the BCCNM Entry-level Competencies;
4. Demonstrate culturally safe, trauma and violence-informed practices as they relate to the diversity of the individual's lived experience, including the physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual care.
