NURS 1420U – Development of Self as a Nurse I

In this course students come to understand the significance of caring as a philosophy underpinning nursing praxis. Through inquiry into experience and relevant nursing knowledge, the students will understand how the concept of caring is foundational between persons in relationship with each other and the environment. Through critical thinking and reflective practice, students identify values, beliefs and assumptions; practice many ways of knowing; and understand the meaning of lived experiences. As students relate to the experience of becoming a nurse, they will utilize relevant research, literature and nursing theories.
