Overview

The course Transition to Practice for Nurses prepares learners for nursing practice in the Ontario health care context. Using a learner-centered approach, opportunities are provided for learners to synthesize prior knowledge with new learning through critical inquiry, reflection, application of evidence-informed knowledge and practices, case-based learning, and engagement with simulated patient care situations in a range of health care settings.
