I know why families were created with all their imperfections. They
humanize you. They are made to make you forget yourself occasionally, so
that the beautiful balance of life is not destroyed.

COURSE OUTLINE
This course involves careful examination of theories and concepts essential to
the nursing care of children, youth and families. The emphasis in this classroombased course is on children and families’ experiences of health and health
challenges, and family-centered care. Students learn about developing caring
and professional health care relationships with children and families, with a focus
on illness/injury prevention, and health promotion. This is achieved through
building on previously learned concepts, and integrating new and specialized
knowledge and skills through the use of the Decision-Making for Nursing Practice
Framework. The role of current research and evidence in practice will be
explored.
PROCESS
Nursing 3116 is a 4-hour class-per-week theory course. Classes consist of a
variety of methods including but not limited to short lectures, presentations,
discussions, individual work, and small and large group work. Guest speakers
may be invited to some classes.
Preparatory work is required for each class day. This may include readings from
textbooks, journal articles, viewing videos or completing worksheets. In order to
actively participate and acquire the nursing knowledge necessary, it is essential
that participants come to each class prepared.
CLASS OR CLINICAL PRACTICE CANCELLATION
The nursing department makes every effort to replace a nurse educator when he
or she is unable to attend a class or clinical practice. If a nurse educator needs to
cancel a class or a clinical practice day, for whatever the reason, information
regarding the class cancellation will be posted on Blackboard CE 6 as well as at
the Registrar's Office (B-Building). As for the cancellation of clinical practice,
individual nurse educators will inform his or her students of how cancellation will
be conveyed during orientation week. It is important then to log on to Blackboard
the day of class and of clinical practice.

PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES
“Langara College requires all members of the College community (students and
nurse educators) to conduct themselves in a manner that promotes a learning
and working environment characterized by encouragement, free inquiry, integrity,
mutual respect, professionalism, recognition of achievement, and social
responsibility. The College community respects diversity, is civil, and provides for
individual safety” (http://www.langara.bc.ca/about-langara/policies/student.html, ¶
1).
Students are expected to have a working knowledge and adhere to the policies of
Langara College and those outlined in the Langara College Nursing Department
Student Handbook. Students are also required to use appropriate language and
APA style for all assignments. Questions relative to the methods of evaluation
should be directed to the nurse educator teaching the course section in which
students are registered.
ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION
Every practicing nurse in British Columbia, from the beginning student to the
expert nurse, is required to assume full responsibility for knowing and adhering to
the professional standards of practice. These standards serve primarily to ensure
an acceptable level of professionalism (CRNBC, 2005). One of the College of
Registered Nurses of British Columbia (CRNBC, 2005) standards of practice is
Professional Responsibility and Accountability. Ways in which students in the
Langara College BSN program can display the competencies under this standard
include following all the Langara College and the Nursing Department’s policies,
including attendance.
To this end, “students must attend all classes, lectures, skills classes,
workshops, practicum [clinical], or seminars. Irregular attendance may

result in exclusion from
langara/policies/student.html
Please note:
The Nursing Department requires students to attend a minimum of 90% of
all classes, lectures, and practicum [clinical]. Absence in excess of 10% of
any of the above components will be deemed “irregular attendance”.
Students who have irregular attendance will be asked to meet with their
nurse educator to discuss the situation. They will also be encouraged to
make an appointment with the Student Coordinator. Absence, for any
cause, does not absolve students of the responsibility for completing course
work. Preparing for a quiz, exam, or any other requirement of a course, is
not an acceptable reason for absenteeism in another course.
“If students are unavoidably absent because of illness or some other
acceptable reason, they may be asked to submit a medical
certificate”http://www.langara.bc.ca/about-langara/policies/student.html,
and/or a Fitness to Practice Form to their nurse educator and Student
Coordinator. The Fitness to Practice Form is available from the Nursing
Department.
If the absence is in the practicum [clinical] setting, the student must notify the
appropriate nurse educator, family, and/or community agency regarding their
absence as early as possible and before the scheduled experience. Telephone
notification is required for each absent day.
Notwithstanding the 90% attendance requirement noted above, students are
expected to make every effort to attend all practice experiences. Absence from
the practice area may negatively affect the student’s ability to satisfactorily
achieve the competencies outlined in the Practice Appraisal Form. The impact of
absence on a student’s performance in the nursing practice setting will be
assessed on an individual basis.
Attendance and participation in the first week of the Fall, Spring, and
Summer semesters’ Term events, including ‘meet and greet’ and
‘orientation’ to the clinical practice setting is mandatory. Students who fail
to meet this attendance requirement will receive an Unsatisfactory (U) or
failing grade for the course and be asked to re-register in the subsequent
semester in which the course is offered. Students are asked to see the
Student Coordinator to review the re-registration process.

Please note:
Registration in the BSN program is contingent upon seat availability.
Class Conduct
Some behaviour impedes positive professional and respectful relationships in the
learning environment (online, face to face, and at health care settings). Examples
include:
demeaning,
defense-arousing,
attention-seeking,
gossiping,
discriminatory, disrespectful, disruptive, and dishonest behaviours.
“Langara College requires all members of the College community [students
and nurse educators] to conduct themselves in a manner that promotes
learning and a working environment that is characterized by
encouragement, free inquiry, integrity, mutual respect, professionalism,
recognition of achievement, and social responsibility. The College
community respects diversity, is civil, and provides for individual safety”
http://www.langara.bc.ca/about-langara/policies/student.html
To this end, active involvement and appropriate participation in classes (including
the Blackboard™ component of mixed mode courses), skills classes, lectures,
and practicum (including pre/post conferences) will enhance the learning
process. It is expected that students read the learning activities and complete the
required pre-readings for each course and be prepared to participate in classes
and/or practice settings.
The learning culture and environment should be positive, safe, nonthreatening, non-judgmental and enjoyable. In the spirit of mutual respect,
professionalism, recognition of achievement, and social responsibility,
students and nurse educators will conduct themselves according to a
‘charter of norms’. The charter of norms includes the following behaviours:








Be on time and understand the consequence lateness*
Respect an individual’s right to enjoy a quality-learning environment
that is free of disruption
Turn cell/mobile phones and other electronic devices to vibrate
Keep an open mind to others perspectives (i.e. challenge ideas
respectfully)
Contribute to small and large group discussions by making relevant
contributions
Be an active listener (i.e. no sidebar conversations)
Be an empathetic listener (i.e. avoid interrupting others)
Take ownership of own behaviours




This charter of norms should reflect students’ and nurse educators’ expectations
of their particular term and be followed over the course of the semester. Nurse
educators may draft additional “expectations” and include them in the term
syllabus for presentation to, and endorsement by, their students at the beginning
of the Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters either in a classroom setting, during a
‘meet and greet’ event, or ‘orientation’ to the clinical practice setting.
*If a student is late for any class, lecture, practicum [clinical], or pre/post
conference, the student should be considerate and leave a message on the
course’s nurse educator’s voicemail (cell, pager) as soon as possible,
preferably before the start of the class, skills class, lecture, practicum
[clinical], or pre/post conference.
Please note:
Students can only enter the classroom during a scheduled break.
PROFESSIONALISM & ACADEMIC HONESTY
It is an expectation that students conduct themselves in a professional and
ethical manner in accordance with the Langara College Academic Conduct
Policy, F1004, the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia, and the
Canadian Nurses Association. Students are also expected to consistently
demonstrate an understanding of the obligation to be responsible and
accountable for his/her actions, words, and language in a class, nursing skills
session, and/or practice experience; including the maintenance of Requisite
Skills and Abilities.
Academic dishonesty is taken very seriously within the college. If a student is
found to have cheated or plagiarized on an examination and/or an assignment,
that student will be assigned a grade of ‘0’ and additional consequences may
occur. In the event of suspected plagiarism, the onus is on the student to prove
the uniqueness of the work by providing the original sources used for references
and any working notes as required. Any incidence of suspected academic
dishonesty and/or unprofessionalism will be referred to the Term Team, the
Department Chair, and/or the Dean of Student Support Services. Please see the
Academic Conduct Policy F1004 of Langara College and Langara College
Nursing Department Student Policies and Procedures manual for further
information.

According to the Langara College Academic Conduct Policy F1004, cheating is
defined as "an act of deceit, fraud, distortion of the truth or improper use of
another person's effort to obtain an academic advantage" (p. 1, ¶ 3). Plagiarism
is defined as "the presentation of another person's or source's words and/or
images and/or ideas as if they were one's own...For plagiarism to occur, intent is
not necessary; plagiarism can be either intentional or unintentional. In either
case, it is unacceptable" (p.2, ¶5). There will be opportunities to discuss, review,
and practice the elements of good writing during the first week of the term. If
students have any questions about correct referencing, be sure to ask the course
nurse educator before the submission of an assignment.
Anticipate a 1-2 week turn around response period from your nurse educator in
order to adequately reflect and provide you with feedback to encourage
movement in your understanding of the course’s concepts and/or scholarly
writing.
ASSIGNMENTS AND EXAMS
The dates for submission of assignments are pre-established and outlined in all
course syllabi. Completion and submission of all assignments is an expectation
of Langara College. Failure to complete or submit an assignment will result in a
mark of ‘0’ for the given course.
There is a late penalty of 5 % (of the total mark for the assignment) per day
including weekends and holidays. If the submission of an assignment is on the
due date and after the specified time, it is considered one day late. A request for
extension must be discussed with the appropriate nurse educator at least one
week in advance of the due date, or the request will not receive consideration.
Subject to the nurse educator’s agreement to grant an extension, the amended
due date and time will be documented, either by letter or email, and forwarded to
the student during regular business hours, within three (3) days of the
agreement.
For examinations and quizzes you must be prepared to produce your college
id/library card. During each examination, all bags, books, pencil cases, cell
phones, laptops, and other items are to be left at the front of the class. You are
only permitted to have a pen/pencil with you. Cellular phones, papers, and any
audio/visual memory devices are not permitted on the table/desk. In addition,
purposely exposing written examination papers or computer screens to the view
of other students is considered a violation of academic integrity and may result in
a grade of ‘0’. A plea of accident or forgetfulness is unacceptable.
Students found to be in violation of any of the above or similar dishonest
practices will immediately be dismissed from the examination and liable to
disciplinary
action
under
the

College
policy

If an illness or other extenuating circumstances prohibit you from completing a
quiz, midterm exam, or SPA, on the scheduled dates, you must:




Notify the nurse educator immediately. Notification may be via voice or email message. In fairness to all students, missed quizzes, exams, and
SPAs, will result in a 0% grade, until you initiate an appropriate discussion
with your nurse educator, provide any required documentation, and a rescheduling of the quiz, SPA or exam occurs. Acceptable reasons for
requesting a rescheduling are generally limited to illness or family
affliction; however, the nurse educator has scope to accept other
legitimate reasons.
Once documentation has been received and accepted, the quiz, midterm
exam, or SPA must be completed at the first available date as determined
by the nurse educator.
Lack of prior notice that was unavoidable due to circumstances clearly
beyond the control of the student will be assessed on an individual basis.
Proof of acceptable cause may be required (see Attendance).
For illnesses, a physician’s note is required.
