NURS 4265: Nursing Practice IX: Transition to Professional Nursing Practice

Formerly NURS 4261 and 4263

This final practice course is preceptor-based and provides opportunities for participants to consolidate their learning, their development of nursing practice and leadership skills, and to critically reflect on the program's goals while experiencing the transition to professional nursing as a BSN graduate. The course focuses on the core concepts of critical thinking, evidenced-informed decision making, health promotion, and relational practice. Emphasis will also be on the participant's ability to use the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) principles, roles, and competencies at the Term Nine level. An academic online component of this course provides opportunities for students to interact with peers and instructor in a meaningful way on the lived experience of transition to entry-level practice. A focus on workplace issues, population health, risk management, continuity of care, leadership, and preparation for the National Licensing Exam (NCLEX) is included in the academic component of the course. Reflection on the evolution of personal learning within the program, as well as philosophy of nursing and scholarship are emphasized. Graded S/U.
