NURS 4700U – Health and Healing: Synthesis Professional Practice

This course provides students with the opportunity to apply problem solving, critical thinking, clinical reasoning, effective and productive inter- and intra-personal communication, resource identification, and technical competency so that students may explore the complexities and types of problems that may arise in praxis. This course will require students to attend laboratory preparation sessions in the first weeks of the semester. Students will complete 190 hours of nursing practice in an assigned practicum setting, collaborating with faculty advisors, colleagues, and clinical partners (preceptors) to provide holistic, patient centred nursing care. Throughout the semester, students will participate in weekly evidence-based in-class and online seminar discussions based on clinical case studies.
