PRECEPTORSHIP PROGRAM

FOUR YEAR BACHELOR
OF NURSING (COLLABORATIVE) PROGRAM
GENERAL REGULATIONS FOR THE BACHELOR OF NURSING (COLLABORATIVE) PROGRAM
ACADEMIC STANDARDS
AND PROMOTIONS
The profession of nursing involves caring for and about people. Health, the goal of nursing practice, is achieved by working with persons in a manner that respects individuals' beliefs and values. The Bachelor of Nursing (Collaborative) Program assists students to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to help people achieve and maintain health.
The learning environment of the program is based on the belief that students and faculty are equal partners in the educational process. Students by being actively involved in the learning process develop an appreciation of, and responsibility for the discovery of knowledge. Faculty facilitate learning by serving as resource persons and role models and by challenging students to be self-directed and creative.
The learning opportunities provided acknowledge that nursing is a practice discipline whose service is provided in any and all settings where persons function. Practicing nurses within these settings provide valuable assistance in the student's development of competencies required for beginning nursing practice.

5) Admission to the Bachelor of Nursing (Collaborative) Program is on the basis of competition for a limited number of places. Selection of candidates will be based on academic performance and on other criteria considered suitable for professional practice in nursing. Admission to the program is denied to any student if, in the judgement of the Joint Admission's Committee, s/he is deemed unsuitable for admission. Priority will be given to residents of the province.
6) An unsuccessful applicant has the right to appeal the decision of the Admissions Committee.

3) Any student writing a supplementary examination can only obtain a maximum grade of 65% in the course.
4) Supplementary examinations will be written no later than the first week of the semester immediately following the one in which the course was failed.

Grades for supplementary examinations must be received by the Office of the Registrar within one week following the completion of the examination.
5) A student may write a supplementary examination for any one course only once.
6) If it is mathematically impossible to achieve a passing grade in a course, then the student will not be granted a supplementary examination.

Bachelor of Nursing (Post-RN):
For Registered Nurses
The Memorial University of Newfoundland School of Nursing s are based on three major beliefs: (a) that nursing is a dynamic and creative process, encompassing the interaction of the nurse, the client, and the environment; (b) that, as one of the health professions, nursing develops, tests, and uses theoretical and scientific knowledge; and (c) that caring for human beings and promoting change toward health are central to nursing. Preparation for nursing requires a broad knowledge base not only in nursing and health sciences but also in the humanities and the natural and social sciences.
Nursing knowledge is concerned with the patterns of human behaviour as it evolves through interaction with the environment and affects human health.
Nursing practice is based on theoretical and scientific knowledge and aims to promote health.
The Bachelor of Nursing programmes are designed to provide students with a liberal education which prepares them to be direct care-givers, teachers, counsellors and advocates for their clients. The students will be encouraged to perform these roles in a caring manner. The courses in the programmes will contribute to the knowledge, competencies and attitudes of graduates so that they may:
1) Provide for and facilitate comprehensive and effective client care;
2) Convey an awareness of and respect for the values, dignity, and rights of human beings;
3) Recognize the extent to which personal values and attitudes influence the interaction with and care of clients;
4) Apply current knowledge from nursing and other disciplines in any client care environment;
5) Apply scientific methods while maintaining the holistic perspective;
6) Take account of the influences of social, cultural, political and economic forces on the health and lifestyles of people;
7) Communicate and work effectively with other health professionals, agencies and governments in dealing with client care issues;
8) Become self-directed in the pursuit of excellence;
9) Be analytical, critical, and independent thinkers;
10) Use previous experience and education to enhance their knowledge base and competencies;
11) Affirm the values and standards of the nursing profession;
12) Recognize that learning is a continuous life-long process.
1) The School constitutes the examining body for all School of Nursing examinations. The standing of every student will be assessed at the end of each academic semester by the Committee on Undergraduate Studies, and a grade report will be issued by the Registrar to the individual student.
