Course Overview
This blended course builds on foundations established from previous context of health care courses and provides learners with the opportunity to actively consider and build their capacity for transition to new graduate nurse (NGN) practice. Learners will critically reflect on and self-assess practice readiness and the roles and responsibilities of NGNs and discuss the challenges and opportunities with transitioning from student nurse to NGN. Completion of critical reflections, self-assessments, and development of a transition to practice plan supports practice readiness and achievement of entry-level competencies. This work will serve as preparation for the final terms of the program.
