This clinical course emphasizes nursing practice with pregnant people, infants, children, and adolescents experiencing health challenges.

CNA Code of Ethics

Learning activities

Faculty will facilitate the student's integration of nursing theory and promote the development of critical inquiry, clinical reasoning and judgement through learning activities such as decision-making analysis, discussion, reflective writing, and practice appraisal.

Means of assessment

These are two separate clinical placements in maternity and pediatrics with two different instructors. However, these placements constitute one course, and the evaluative components for both rotations contribute to the total course grade. Students must repeat the entire course if they receive a non-mastery grade for either of the rotations. This is a mastery course. The means of assessment are consistent with the Douglas College Evaluation Policy. The instructor's course outline will be available to students by the first class and list the evaluative components of the course.

Learning outcomes

Upon the successful completion of the course, students will be able, with minimal assistance, to:

1. Apply the BSN Department's Conceptual Framework including:

  • Curriculum themes (critical inquiry, leadership, and relational practice);
  • Curriculum threads (health promotion, interprofessional collaboration, teaching and learning, nursing art and science, and health); 
  • The ethic of care;

2. Integrate concurrent nursing theory, concepts, and knowledge into clinical practices;

3. Demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and judgment to provide safe, competent, ethical, compassionate, and evidence-informed care as outlined in the BCCNM Entry-level Competencies;

4. Demonstrate culturally safe, trauma and violence-informed practices as they relate to the diversity of the individual's lived experience, including the physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual care.

Textbook materials

The instructor's course outline will be available to students by the first class and list the required textbooks and materials that students must purchase.
