The program of study is grounded by theoretical concepts in the art and science of nursing and prepares students to practice according to the highest standards of quality and service delivery defined by the profession of nursing. The program offers clinical experiences across eight terms with 600 hours of integrated practicum in year four. Students will be prepared to meet or exceed the entry-to-practice competencies required by the College of Nurses Ontario (CNO).
Students in this program will develop the critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills required for success in a fast-paced healthcare environment. Students will learn to analyze issues from multiple perspectives and engage in inter-professional practice to build a foundation for achieving successful careers practising across the healthcare sector. Furthermore, students will learn how research advances the practice of nursing and is an indispensable component of a graduate's transition to professional practice. Lambton County's unique location in the province as a border city and home to three Indigenous communities also provides students with opportunities to engage in international and national exploration of health and healthcare issues. |
