Nursing knowledge and skills are the basis of this lab experience. Once per week, students will have a one-hour lecture to review the rationale for basic nursing skills. Students will have the opportunity to apply the nursing process to scenarios in the lab and in simulations. Learners will practice medication administration skills as per the scope of practice of the Registered Nurse in Canada. Using clinical judgment and critical thinking skills in different scenarios in the lab will provide the students with increased confidence when in placement. Students will submit the routine clinical requirements in preparation for placement.
