Nature of the Field of Study
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is a four-year program consisting of general education and professional courses. Professional courses are threaded through from the first year thru the fourth year with emphasis on the nursing concepts with corresponding Related Learning Experiences (RLE). The BSN program provides an intensive nursing practicum that will refine further the nursing competencies to ensure achievement of the BSN program outcomes required of an entry level nurse. (CMO # 15, s., 2017)
Program Goals
The BSN program aims to develop a professional nurse who is able to assume entry level positions in health facilities or community settings. The professional nurse is capable of providing safe, humane, quality and holistic care to individuals in varying age, gender and health-illness status; healthy or at risk families; population groups; and community; singly or in collaboration with other health care providers to promote health, prevent illness, restore health, alleviate suffering and provide end of life care. (CMO # 15., s.2017)
BSN Level Outcomes
These are outcomes expected to be achieved at the end of the specific year level. The level outcomes are as follows:
First year: At the end of the first year, given simulated situations in selected settings, the learners demonstrate basic nursing skills in rendering safe and appropriate care utilizing the nursing process.
These are outcomes expected to be achieved at the end of the specific year level. The level outcomes are as follows:
Second year: At the end of the second year, given a normal and high-risk mother and newborn child, family, communities and population groups in any health care setting, the learners demonstrate safe, appropriate and holistic care utilizing the nursing process.
Third year: At the end of the third year, given individuals, families, population groups, and communities with physiologic and psychosocial health problems and maladaptive patterns of behavior in varied health care setting, the learners demonstrate safe, appropriate and holistic care utilizing the nursing process and applying research and evidence – based practice.
Fourth year: At the end of the fourth year, given groups of clients (individual, families, population groups and communities) with health problems and special needs, the learner demonstrate safe, appropriate and holistic care utilizing the nursing process and can assume first level entry position in any field of nursing.
The Related learning Experiences (RLEs)
The Related Learning Experiences (RLEs) are teaching- learning opportunities designed to develop the competencies of students utilizing processes in various health situations. These could be sourced from, but not limited to lying–in clinics, schools, industrial establishment, community, out-patient clinics and general and specialty hospitals. Adequate and prime clinical learning resources is acquired at the base training hospital which is the Eastern Bicol Medical Center (EBMC) and in the community settings (RHU/School/Barangay) located in Virac, Catanduanes.
The RLE program consists of 2,907 total clinical hours as approved per BOR Resolution No __. Students are provided with varied learning opportunities through clinical rotations in different areas such as medical, surgical, maternal or OB-Gyne, pediatric, psychiatric, community health and special areas like OR, ICU, NICU, PICU.
The Related Learning Experience (RLE) is composed of Clinicals and Skills Laboratory. The RLE activities are carefully selected to develop competencies utilizing the nursing process in varying health situations. The following conditions must be observed:
Related Learning Experiences (Clinical) shall be offered simultaneously or immediately after classroom instructions. Classroom and RLE activities must be congruent with the learning outcomes of the course in terms of time and context.
Faculty in charge of classroom instructions shall supervise students in their RLE. In the case of team teaching, there should be close coordination and collaboration between the lecturer and the clinical instructor.
A documented RLE rotation plan showing distribution of students and faculty supervision in each clinical area of base hospital and affiliation agencies shall be made available.
Faculty compensation shall be based on the computation that one (1) hour RLE is equivalent to one (1) lecture hour.
Effectiveness and efficiency of the Related Learning Experience shall consider the following factors:
Quality of supervision of clinical instructors and teaching learning process
Readiness and capacity of the learner
Quality of the learning resources both in institutions and communities
Adequate number and variety of clientele
Utilization of appropriate feedback mechanism
Adequate number of qualified nursing staff and other personnel
Quality of nursing care services
Compliance with the required equivalence of fifty-one (51) to one (1) unit RLE
Ratio of student to clientele depends upon the learning outcome and the capacity of the students.
