You will work collaboratively with the client and the multi-disciplinary team by holistically supporting the client's physical, psychological, social, cognitive, cultural, and spiritual needs. You will promote and contribute to the optimal health and well-being of the client, family, community, and yourself to support a healthy practice environment.<br><br>Theoretical knowledge and guided lab experiences focus on topics such as anatomy and physiology, fundamentals of nursing, pharmacology, disease processes and therapeutics. You will apply your skills in real-world experiences and be exposed to multiple health care settings. Clinical and practicum placements may occur at various locations across Prince Edward Island and, as nursing is practiced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, you may be scheduled to attend clinical or practicum shifts early mornings, days, evenings, nights, weekends, and/or holidays. All clinical and practicum costs are the responsibility of the student and there are no guarantees students will be placed at a preferred location or with a preferred shift schedule. Transportation to and from clinical sites is the responsibility of the student and public transit may not align with clinical shifts or location schedules.
