Nursing in Canada: Legal, Ethical, and Equity Perspectives NSIN 7110

​This microcredential badged course supports internationally educated nurses (IENs) in transitioning to professional nursing practice in British Columbia, Canada. This course emphasizes the foundational knowledge needed to thrive as an RN in Canada, and provides a broad overview of the regulation of nursing practice in Canada, with a focus on the role and mandate of the BC College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM). Key topics include professional standards, practice standards, and the scope of practice for registered nurses in BC. The course explores ethics and equity-oriented care, including topics such as gender diversity and inclusiveness, trauma- and violence-informed care, and the perspectives and factors that impact the health of Indigenous and other equity-deserving populations. Virtual clinical experiences help learners refine the knowledge and skills needed to deliver patient-centered care that respects dignity, fosters health, and minimizes harm for individuals facing mental health challenges and substance use disorders. Learners are encouraged to repeat the virtual clinicals multiple times within the course. As well, depending on each learner's unique style of learning, course study time may vary. Through course content and experiential learning, learners develop a professional development plan aligned with BCCNM's annual requirements to support their transition to practice. ​
