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.

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.
2) Students in the Bachelor of Nursing Program are required to achieve a grade of at least 65% or a grade of PAS as appropriate in each of the required Nursing courses.
3) Students failing to achieve the requirements outlined in Clause 2 are
permitted to repeat the given nursing course only once. A second failure
in a given nursing course results in withdrawal from the Bachelor of Nursing
(Post-RN) Program.
4) Failure in excess of two nursing courses during the program results
in withdrawal from the Bachelor of Nursing (Post-RN) Program.
5) A student may be required to withdraw from a Nursing course with a clinical component or from the program at any time on the recommendation of the Committee on Undergraduate Studies of the School of Nursing, if the student is deemed unlikely to profit from continued attendance in the Nursing course or program and/or is deemed unsafe in a clinical setting. Students who are required to withdraw from the program for reasons outlined in this clause will not be eligible for future admission/readmission to the program.
6) Students who are required to withdraw from the program under Clause 3 may appeal for readmission after a lapse of two semesters by writing to the Chair, Committee on Undergraduate Studies. Students who are required to withdraw from the program a second time will not be eligible for future admission/readmission to the program.
7) Students appealing matters such as admission, readmission, examinations and promotion must make their appeal in writing, clearly stating the basis of the appeal, to the Chair, Committee on Undergraduate Studies of the School of Nursing. Appeals cannot be made on the basis of grades awarded in individual courses, as the student will normally have had the opportunity of contesting a grade after notification.
8) In special cases the Comittee on Undergraduate Studies may waive the course requirements that apply only to the School of Nursing.
Policy
Any student receiving a grade of 60% in a Nursing course is eligible to write a supplementary examination in that course. Only three supplementary examinations in Nursing courses can be written during the program.
