Nursing Foundations II: Basic Nursing - NFDN 1002

This second nursing foundations course builds on the theory and skills learned in Term 1, with a focus on the client and the nurse-client relationship. Topics include the metaparadigm of nursing, safety, professionalism, and leadership, with a focus on the application of these concepts to the client. Emphasis will be placed on using the nursing process, demonstrating critical thinking, applying the concept of self-care, and setting priorities. Students develop nursing care plans tailored to client needs, demonstrate effective documentation, mathematical calculations, communication, and client-teaching skills. In the lab setting, students apply theory, practise skills, and competently perform the selected nursing skills required for effective clinical practice.

Note: Prerequisites: ENGL 2550, HEAS 1000, NFDN 1001. Co-requisite: PHAR 1000. Restricted to Practical Nurse and Practical Nurse for Internationally Educated Nurses (some class sections of this course may not be open to PNDIEN).


This course is delivered in a classroom setting with face-to-face instruction at regularly scheduled times.
