Emergency Nursing - Clinical Practicum for the RN

Course Code: EMGY 517

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 utilize critical thinking to demonstrate safe and professional practice with a focus on persons having both life-threatening and non-life-threatening emergencies. 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.

The Emergency Nursing-RN clinical is 150 hours and must be completed within a 3-month term. Nurses are required to do two shifts weekly following their preceptor's schedule.  

Step 1: Complete the Clinical Placement Request Form for the fall term. The form opens on Monday, April 28th and closes on Wednesday, June 11th.

Step 2: Register and pay for the clinical course.

Step 3: Begin working on Health Clearance requirements immediately after submitting your Clinical Placement Request Form. These requirements can take up to three months to complete.
