Nursing Practice II - Clinical

This course will provide the learner with opportunities to examine the role of the Practical Nurse, when caring for individuals experiencing at risk for disease, and in both a long-term and complex chronic care environment. The learner will continue to apply the five competency frameworks from the Entry to Practice Competencies for Registered Practical Nurses (College of Nurses of Ontario, 2019): professional practice, ethical practice, legal practice, foundations of practice, and collaborative practice. The learner will assess, plan, implement, and evaluate nursing care for two adult patients; practice previously acquired theoretical and practical nursing knowledge (all Semester One skills); and safely apply current theoretical and practical nursing knowledge (including nursing theory, Semester Two nursing skills, and the nursing assessment). By the end of this clinical experience, learners are expected to care for two adult patients (autonomously); develop their critical thinking skills by contributing to self-reflection exercises; and participate in two simulation experiences.
