Nephrology Nursing - Critical and urgent care practices for the Registered Nurse

Course Code: NEPH 513

This course prepares the Registered Nurse for specialty practice in the area of nephrology. Significant focus is placed on the required nursing care for unpredictable and complex client scenarios. Students will work through advanced case studies that promote development of the in-depth knowledge, decision-making, and collaboration skills required to care for the most vulnerable and unwell clients of this population. Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy and hemodialysis in the critical care environment, managing client deterioration during treatments at home and in the community, advanced care planning, and working with marginalized communities are some of the topics addressed. Critical thinking and reasoning skills will be required to identify actual or potentially life-threatening alterations in homeostasis and, utilizing evidence-based resources, develop client and family-centered interventions. To be successful with all learning objectives, each student is required to participate fully in all individual and collaborative learning activities.
