“Additional education” is structured education, e.g., workshop, course, program of study, designed so that registered nurses can attain the competencies required to carry out a specific activity as part of registered nursing practice. Additional education builds on the entry-level competencies of registered nurses; identifies the competencies expected of learners on completion of the education; includes both theory and application to practice, and includes an objective, external evaluation of learners’ competencies on completion of the education. The term does not refer to a course or program approved by BCCNM for BCCNM-certified practice. |
