Nursing Faculty and Staff
Red River College Polytechnic’s Nursing faculty strives to teach nursing using relational practice as a foundation. We believe that teachers create a positive learning climate for the learner and foster the learner’s success. Teaching is a multi-faceted role based on principles of adult education. Teachers strive to engage learners in ways that increasingly empower them.
Through instructing, facilitating, coaching, tutoring, preparing, edifying, supporting, instilling, mentoring, role modelling, and evaluating, our teachers help to transform nursing students into professional nurses. Nursing students develop the acquisition of knowledge, skills, behaviours, perspectives, and attitudes accepted as essential to the professional role.
