CLIN-2018Introduction to Clinical Practice
This course provides students with the opportunity to bridge theoretical knowledge and clinical practice through experiential learning in a nursing environment at an RRCP-affiliated healthcare facility. Under the guidance of a practicing nurse, students will begin to apply foundational nursing concepts by observing and participating in patient care. Students will identify, examine, and apply core nursing competencies as outlined in the Entry-Level Competencies (ELCs) for Registered Nurses (RNs) in Manitoba within both the clinical setting and simulation-based learning experiences. The clinical setting and simulation activities will place particular emphasis on cultivating clinical judgement, interprofessional collaboration, and effective communication to support the delivery of evidence-informed, culturally competent, and client – centered care.
