This certificate is designed for Internationally Educated Nurses (IENs) and Registered Nurses (RNs) who have been out of practice for more than three years and/or have identified competency gaps in their education. The program is offered in a blended format with many online courses. Content includes topics such as health assessment across the lifespan, pathophysiology of common disease conditions, and entry to practice standards within the Canadian context.
The certificate will provide learners with an understanding of trends in the nursing profession using relevant, competency-based assessments. Learners will learn to develop evidence-informed nursing interventions, and build collaboration skills with nurse colleagues, patients, families, and other inter-professional team members.
This certificate is based on the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) entry to practice standards. Completion of the certificate academically prepares the learner for an entry-level RN position within an acute medical surgical setting.
