Restricted to students in Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing
Learners synthesize nursing and interdisciplinary knowledge into nursing care in the context of select acute and chronic illnesses, and the perioperative period, across the lifespan. Learners will integrate foundational knowledge and clinical reasoning skills in order to provide safe, patient-centred, evidence-based, and culturally competent care for persons across the continuum of health and across the lifespan. Learners will focus on some of Canada’s most prevalent illnesses, including mental illnesses. Learners examine nursing practice and health care environments using the concepts of patient vulnerability, ethics and informed consent, health promotion, and Indigenous ways of knowing.
