NURS 329
Year 3 Objective Structured Clinical Examination
This course requires students to successfully complete a number of Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) scenarios as a prerequisite to commencing NURS 330-4 Extended Clinical Practicum II. An OSCE measures whether specific practice performance expectations are met, and evaluates students' clinical judgement and integration of theory and practice in standardized situations of simulated patient care. Students must successfully complete 2 credit hours of NURS 328-(1, 2), either as two 1-credit hour courses or one 2-credit hour course (minimum 36 hours of structured laboratory practice), no more than eight months prior to undertaking the NURS 329-1 Year 3 Objective Structured Clinical Examination. This course is graded on a PASS/FAIL basis.
