Lived Experiences of the New Grad Transition to Critical Care Nursing

Session Description: In 2022, BCIT and Providence Health Care collaborated to create a learning pathway for BSN students to transition into critical care upon graduation. With five cohorts established to date, including the successful completion of the first cohort in March and the second cohort nearing completion this September, our presentation will delve into the firsthand experiences of our students on this transformative journey. During the presentation, we will focus on sharing feedback from students, discussing the support system in place, and highlighting the enhanced confidence levels students have achieved in specialized practice environments through this learning pathway. 

Saemy Cho graduated from BCIT’s BSN program in July 2022, becoming the first student to successfully navigate and complete the BSN critical care learning pathway established in 2022. Following graduation from BCIT’s critical care nursing specialty program in March, Saemy is currently working at St. Paul’s Hospital’s Cardiac Intensive Care Unit.

 

Carmen Naujokat recently graduated from the BCIT BSN program in July 2023 and she is in the third cohort of students to follow the critical care learning pathway. She started working in a transition line in the CICU at St.Paul’s Hospital in August 2023 and will be starting the critical care specialty program in January 2024.

Fall 2022 Innovation Roundtable

Presenters:  Alyson Parker, Brandi Dan, Elan Nattress & Jessica Key

This competency tool was developed collaboratively to support people working at Vancouver Coastal Health providing healthcare and all other related services. This tool is meant to support the individual and collective journey of ongoing self-assessment, learning, and commitments to incorporating Indigenous Cultural Safety and anti-racism into clinical practice. 

This tool is designed to guide the learning journey towards Indigenous Cultural Safety and culturally safe practice. This journey requires ongoing learning, reflection, and action. The learning process is circular rather than linear and it is not about reaching an endpoint of expertise, but rather about a humble and ongoing commitment to change and improving the quality and safety of health-care experienced by Indigenous people. 

Presenter: Hannah Rosenberg

Historically, nursing has been perceived by the public to be a calling. Nurses have been described as heroes, doctors’ assistants, or even, angels. This presentation uses a brief survey of relevant literature, with examples from television shows, news, and social media, to discuss how and why these perceptions harm the nursing profession and the patients and clients we care for.

In response to the current nursing climate, the Ministry of Health in BC has begun exploring learning pathways for registered nurses entering the profession.  In response, BCIT BSN, BCIT critical care specialty and Providence Health Care have collaborated to create a pathway for BSN students to enter the critical care environment after graduation.  With this pilot, students move along the pathway starting in their final year of their BSN, and throughout their first 12 months post graduation.  Our presentation will describe the pathway and our experiences with the pilot as we support our first group to transition into this specialized practice environment.
