Preceptors and placement sites must be approved by BCIT Faculty, prior to the student beginning any clinical hours or registering in the course. In the event that students cannot arrange their own preceptorships BCIT will request/attempt to find placement but cannot guarantee placements due to ongoing limited clinical capacity. Only students with pre-arranged practicum site will be enrolled in NSPN 7735/and NSPN 7736. Placement requirements: - All placements are prearranged prior to entering NSPN 7735 (theory). Students enrolling in this course must have completed NSPN 7735 and hold current BCCNM registration. Within the scope of nursing practice with clients experiencing, or at risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), students will learn various clinical skills designated as BCCNM certified practice. This course is a 25 hour (20 - 24 hours of clinical time, with the remaining hours for assessing clinical competency) clinical course for which NSPN 7735 is a pre-requisite ( NSPN 7710 is also strongly recommended).
