This Moodle Shell is a joined shell for GNUR 542 and GNUR 545.
GNUR 542: Clinical Skills and the Older Adult will facilitate the consolidation and application of nursing concepts, knowledge, and skills introduced throughout the program. Participants will have the opportunity to practice relevant psychomotor and interpersonal skills associated with the care of older adults with complex health challenges. Assessments will focus on skill proficiency, documentation, and relational practice competency.
GNUR 545: Nursing Registration Readiness Part II provides an opportunity for learners to apply and consolidate nursing knowledge and skills into simulated scenarios. The virtual simulations and hands-on interactive lab setting will assist learners in putting theory into practice in partial preparation for the NCAS objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) and/or completing the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) gerontological nursing certificate, if desired. Scenarios will be based on the NCAS blueprints related to older adults which are aligned with the Canadian Gerontological Nursing Association (CGNA), BC College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM), and Canadian Association Schools of Nursing (CASN) competencies for nurse’s working with this population. Areas of focus include: knowledge-based practice (assessment, planning, provision of care, evaluation); accountability, responsibility and ethical behaviour; collaborative practice; and therapeutic relationships. This course builds on GNUR 535 and will provide further registration readiness support in a number of critical gerontological nursing skills and competencies.
Please note that each course is graded separately. Please refer to the course outlines for more details.
