134.1 BScN—Collaborative Program

134.1.1 General Information

    In September 1997, a revised four-year Collaborative Baccalaureate Program commenced. The method of instruction is Context-Based Learning (CBL). Throughout the program, students work in small groups with a tutor to explore a series of scenarios. Content from nursing, physical sciences, medical sciences, social sciences and humanities is introduced and integrated beginning with the first scenario in NURS 190. Nursing practice occurs in concentrated blocks of time in each term, in various settings, including a community and an institutional experience in each year of the program. Six credits of electives are included.

(1)

The curriculum is designed to be taken over four years. Application for an extension to the program must be submitted to the Student Advisor. With approval, students have six years from the time of admission to complete requirements for this program.

(2)

Placements can be made anywhere in the Greater Edmonton area (Devon, Fort Saskatchewan, Leduc, Morinville, St Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove and Stony Plain) or as far away as 150 kilometers. Students are responsible for their transportation to practice placements and for the costs of travel and accommodations.

(3)

Students must purchase a stethoscope and a penlight at the time of admission. A lab coat and a uniform will be required later in the program.

(4)

Clinical practice may include shift and weekend rotations.

(5)

Students will have two opportunities to pass the Medication Administration Safety Screening (MASS) exam at the beginning of each clinical course. Failure to pass the MASS exam at the beginning of a clinical course will require students to delete their registration in the clinical course.
