Emergency Nursing - Clinical Practicum for the RN

The registered nurse (RN) participates in this clinical course in order to apply theoretical principles and knowledge within the emergency department clinical setting as outlined in the Canadian Nurses Association competencies.

RNs learn alongside the assigned preceptor(s) and perform diverse assessments, monitoring of patient status, and communication of findings incorporating knowledge of Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS). In addition, RNs monitor IV therapy and administer medications (facility specific) for the assigned patients.
