This three-week expert series encompasses a variety of topics
relevant to PEOLC undergraduate nursing education, including the
principles of care; the contributions of nursing; care planning with an
emphasis on a team approach that includes family caregivers;
consideration of human experiences; and an overview of resources,
services, and settings. The philosophical framework for this series is
inspired by the human becoming school of thought (Parse, 2014), within
which human experience is understood as paradoxical. While drawing on
contemplative pedagogy and exploring aspects of the CASN PEOLC
Entry-to-Practice Competencies and Indicators for Registered Nurses, the
co-facilitators invite participants to share experiences, insights, and
questions to develop new understandings about how to prepare student
nurses for PEOL caregiving in a variety of settings.
Course completion requirements include:
Participation in three, 1.5 hour live webinars, completion of assigned readings and participation in a discussion forum.
