COURSE OUTLINE 3 of 15 N2141 is an extension of previous practice courses and will be focusing on increasingly complex episodic health challenges. This course will build on the student s previous knowledge base of human anatomy and physiology. Using a variety of learning methods such as case studies, discussions, presentations, and visual programs for the classroom portion of this course will enhance student s nursing practice in the clinical areas. Nursing students will broaden their scope of practice to include the use of critical thinking, problem solving techniques, and active clinical decision making in medical surgical treatments, postoperative care and discharge planning. Experiences include the provision of safe, competent care with individuals and their families in a surgical setting. PROCESS Nursing 2141 is a weekly 4-hour nursing course. It is delivered in a mixed-mode format; consisting of a three hour, face-to-face class component, and a one hour online component using Blackboard CE 6 learning management system. Classes consist of a variety of methods including but not limited to lectures, simulations, discussions, individual work, and small and large group work. Guest speakers may be invited to some classes. CLASS OR CLINICAL PRACTICE CANCELLATION The nursing department makes every effort to replace a nurse educator when he or she is unable to attend a class or clinical practice. If a nurse educator needs to cancel a class or a clinical practice day, for whatever the reason, information regarding the class cancellation will be posted on Blackboard CE 6 as well as at the Registrar's Office (B-Building). As for the cancellation of clinical practice, individual nurse educators will inform his or her students of how cancellation will be conveyed during orientation week. It is important then to log on to Blackboard the day of class and of clinical practice. LEARNING OUTCOMES Participants in the course develop caring relationships with clients experiencing increasingly complex health challenges as they plan, provide, evaluate, and document safe nursing care. Nursing students will integrate theoretical knowledge within a moral and ethical framework and decision making for nursing practice model while providing safe care in an advanced setting and enhancing abilities in the domains of learning. The lived experience of clients is examined within the context of varying episodic health challenges. The creation of the need to know is valued and facilitated by providing nursing practice experience that generates questions and examines e & Heather Hume & Heather Anderson, Jan_201010.

The College community respects diversity, is civil, and provides for individual safety (http://www.langara.bc.ca/about-langara/policies/student.html, 1). Every practicing nurse in British Columbia, from the beginning student to the expert nurse, is required to assume full responsibility for knowing and adhering to the professional standards of practice. These standards serve primarily to ensure an acceptable level of professionalism (CRNBC, 2008).
