Description
The Michener Institute of Education at UHN uses a unique hybrid model in partnership with hospitals combining didactic with clinical mentorship during the program. The Emergency Nursing Certificate Program will provide learners with the advanced knowledge, specialized skills and abilities to practice competently and safely within an Emergency Department. The innovative design integrates the clinical experience throughout synchronous and asynchronous virtual learning, allowing students to integrate new knowledge into their practice on an ongoing basis.
This program provides Registered Nurses foundational knowledge and skills as per the Core Competencies For the Emergency Nurse set out by the Emergency Nurses Association of Ontario. It also prepares candidates to challenge the Canadian Nurses Association national certification exam in Emergency Nursing.
Nurses after successful completion of the program should continue with unit/hospital-specific orientation, additional education delivered by Nurse Educators and growth of their professional practice through experience. Our program provides generalized emergency nursing education and cannot cover every specialized clinical situation that a novice nurse (post program) may encounter.
Our Emergency Nursing Certificate Program (EMNU100) is only available by contract to hospitals that will be sponsoring RNs either currently working in or newly hired to work in their Emergency Departments.
This course is not available for individual registration.
