Course Description

Clinical Applications II is a 156-hour virtual clinical placement experience designed to assist students to develop competence in their nursing practice. This course builds on previously learning outcomes from semester one and continues to develop the learner towards achieving the Entry to Practice Competencies as established by the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO, 2011). The teaching and learning occurs within a virtual clinical environment whereby students are required to demonstrate their abilities as they provide care (theoretically) with simulated clientcentred case scenarios. The emphasis will be on simulation and the development of clinical judgment, clinical reasoning, and critical thinking skills. Learners will apply their knowledge related to therapeutic nursing interventions focusing on preventive, curative, supportive and restorative care for simulated clients. Learners will have the opportunity to draw upon and integrate theoretical knowledge from other theory-based core nursing courses (i.e., anatomy, pathophysiology, health assessment, theory and pharmacology).
