Advanced Nursing Practice Scholarship Clinical

The Master of Nursing program prepares nurses to be professional leaders in their chosen advanced practice field. NUR1179Y: Advanced Nursing Practice Scholarship is the final course in the Clinical Stream where students are expected to build on, consolidate, and refine the knowledge and skills that are consistent with the core competencies as outlined in the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) document on Advanced Practice Nursing: A Pan-Canadian Framework (CNA, 2019). Students are expected to integrate knowledge and skills acquired from previous course work, in addition to assigned readings and other learning materials, throughout the course. Successful completion of NUR1179Y requires a practicum placement involving 160-hours of clinical experience with an Advanced Practice Nurse. During the placement, students are expected to contribute to their practicum agency through a negotiated, mutually satisfying project with a scholarly focus. All practice scholarship conducted in this practicum must concentrate on foundational domains of the advanced nursing practice role, resulting in application and demonstration of advanced practice nursing competencies.
