Curriculum Day 2014

June 5^th saw the nursing faculty gather together for the Curriculum and Quality Assurance Committee’s annual Curriculum Day.  This event provides an opportunity for clinical and theory instructors to come together to examine the BN curriculum from a big picture perspective.   Brainstorming breakout sessions were designed to discuss curriculum themes and the goodness of fit between courses, across terms and throughout the years. This opportunity to share thoughts and ideas allows faculty to look for overlaps, possible gaps and ways to enhance student learning and flow of the overall curriculum.   Faculty also used their pizza lunch as a fund raising opportunity for the Nursing Legacy Fund, which supports Nursing students research and scholarship endeavors.    Dianne Brown, Chair of the Curriculum Committee presents Lois Tessier, Awards Committee Chair with a cheque for $222.00.

Thank you to the Nursing faculty for sharing your curriculum ideas, your enthusiasm was phenomenal.
