All theory courses must be completed prior to taking PERI-2012 Transition to Practice. The Transition to Practice workshop must be successfully completed prior to taking PRNF-4009 Perioperative Field Placement. Students are required to arrange their own field placement opportunity.
Due to the large number of students enrolled in several programs requiring field placements, it is not uncommon for students to experience a delay in commencing the field placement portion of their program.
This program provides Registered Nurses (RN) with the necessary knowledge and expertise to care for clients in perioperative settings. The program consists of theoretical and lab components, a transition to practice course and 240 hours of clinical practicum in a perioperative setting - unique components of this program.
This program is intended for students who are working in a hospital setting and can make arrangements for a field placement at their current place of employment.
Please Note: As of August 1, 2015 Lambton College will no longer be sourcing field placements for new students in this program.
