CNA Code of Ethics
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.
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. Faculty members function as educational collaborators with students and preceptors within the practice setting. Essential to the experience is ongoing interaction with preceptors and faculty.
Upon the successful completion of the course, students will be able, with minimal supervision, to:
-
Provide safe, ethical, competent, compassionate, and evidence-informed nursing care that is grounded in professional integrity and pride and that honours the perspectives of self and others as unique beings who affect and are affected by their context or environment;
-
Formulate nursing practice decisions that promote health through critical inquiry, reflection, and analytical reasoning processes that are informed by multiple sources of knowledge;
-
Engage with individuals, families, groups, and communities in various settings to promote health and well-being, using a relational perspective, an ethic of caring, and a trauma and violence-informed approach;
-
Demonstrate leadership qualities that promote and support an international collaborative model of client-centered care and influence the future of nursing practice at a political, social, and professional level to attain quality care for clients and quality work environments for nurses;
-
Meet the BC College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) requirements for professional practice as identified in the Entry-level Competencies for Registered Nurses in BC, the BCCNM Standards for Practice, and the Canadian Nurses Association’s (CNA) Code of Ethics for Registered Nurses.
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.
