RPN to RN: The BSCN Transition

This course provides theoretical and clinical knowledge to assist the Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) with transitioning into Sault College`s Honours Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program. Emphasis is placed upon integration of prior and new learning as the student prepares for science-based Registered Nursing (RN) practice with individuals, families/groups, communities, and populations. Although building upon all levels of professional communication, skill-building in writing will be highlighted. Students utilize the nursing process for obtaining, analyzing, managing, and documenting health information used to make evidence-informed nursing judgements.
