RPNR 010Preparation for Field Clinical Nursing Practice
Start Date: May 2024
In a simulated practice environment students engage in learning opportunities to build professional identity and use problem solving and decision-making skills; work as an effective team member; build caring environments, develop therapeutic relationships and use communication skills. With guidance, students move toward self-directed proficiency in the nursing process. Students work collaboratively to assess, plan, meet, evaluate, and document clients’ health care needs and health outcomes using a theory based approach and relevant evidence, standards, and guidelines. In this course students are required to utilize the Elsevier online Jarvis Health Assessment and Potter and Perry Nursing Skills Online (NSO) to access resources and complete online student evaluations. Each week, students complete pre-lecture learning activities to adequately prepare for active learning. Teaching methodologies include online resources, class demonstrations, hands-on practice, role play, clinical simulations, and teacher and peer feedback activities.
This theoretical course explores the many factors that shape the health and wellness of individual clients, families and communities. The determinants of health are discussed and relevant evidence, commissioned reports and healthcare policies are analyzed. Key aspects of the growth and development theories are reviewed in the context of effective health promotion and injury prevention programs for clients across the lifespan. Students study the concepts of family-centred care, cultural competence and advanced communication techniques to develop a practice approach that is congruent within the client’s needs and goals, ways of living and expected outcomes of care. Respect for the uniqueness and rights of each client are fundamental principles that are threaded throughout each topic in this course. Extended time and attention is given to developing holistic nursing care strategies specific to that of the older adult. This course is part of the RPN - Refresher program. Registration to the RPNR program must be approved by program advisor before enrolling in this course
RPNR 012Orientation to Nursing Practice in Ontario
Start Date: May 2024
This theoretical course focuses on the nursing profession in Ontario and the roles and responsibilities of the Registered Practical Nurse. Students learn about the Canadian Healthcare system and relevant legislation as it applies to nursing in Ontario. The College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) Practice Standards and Guidelines, as well as salient legal and ethical principles, are explored in great detail to facilitate the development of the knowledge, critical thinking skills, and professional behaviours required to practice as a competent and autonomous professional. Students will research different nursing theories to identify the framework(s) that is congruent with their own unique perspective of nursing practice. This nursing theory and associated frameworks will guide them during their field clinical nursing practice. Leadership theories, styles, and approaches to public service and protection are also discussed. This course utilizes complex professional and client case scenarios and requires students to apply a problem based approach to learning. Students will develop skills at finding evidence and reviewing literature for salient concepts. A learning community will be created by which all students present their perspectives in a group discussion format on a wide variety of topics and support their discussion with valid and credible sources.

This is a course that relies heavily on concepts and principles of quality care that translate to a variety of practice circumstances. Acute health challenges that have been documented to have the greatest prevalence in Ontario and risk for societal health and wellness, such as Brain Attack or Diabetes, have been selected as the focal points to study these concepts and principles. Primary and Secondary prevention associated with acute illness and injury are also discussed each class.
