Practical Nursing Preceptorship

In this course, you will work with a Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) preceptor to gain proficiency in evidence-informed nursing practice, relational practice, leadership, and clinical judgement. Guided by your preceptor, you will be a contributing member of interprofessional health care teams, developing leadership skills and independence. During planning, implementing, evaluating, and documenting client care, you will use evidence-informed and strengths-based approaches to apply increasingly complex therapeutic nursing interventions. You will use strengths-based approaches to focus on deepening your assessment, clinical judgement, and advocacy skills and abilities to provide client care that is ethical, respectful, safe, competent, and compassionate. At the completion of the preceptorship, you will meet the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) Entry-to-Practice (ETP) Competencies for Registered Practical Nurses.
