Course Developers and Instructors
The Ontario Internationally Educated Nurses Course Consortium is seeking to hire two Course Developers and Instructors to revise and instruct online competency-based courses for internationally educated nurses (IENs).
The consortium is seeking to hire a Course Developer and Instructor who will revise and instruct one of the following online courses:
Professional Responsibility and Accountability, and Service to the Public
In this course students will be provided with opportunities to develop and demonstrate comprehensive achievement of the College of Nurses of Ontario’s entry-to-practice competencies. As such, students in the course will be provided opportunities to learn and consistently demonstrate professional conduct in accordance with the College of Nurses of Ontario’s standards for nursing practice and ethics and that the primary duty is to the client to ensure safe competent, ethical nursing care. Students will also have opportunities to develop and demonstrate an understanding of the concept of public protection and the duty to provide and improve health care services in collaboration with clients and other members of the interprofessional health care team, stakeholders, and policy makers.
Self-Regulation Course
In this course students will be provided with opportunities to develop and demonstrate comprehensive achievement of the College of Nurses of Ontario’s entry-to-practice competencies. As such, students will have opportunities to develop and demonstrate an understanding of professional self-regulation by advocating in the public interest, developing and enhancing one’s own competence, and ensuring safe practice.
Program of Study Principles
- One-to-one opportunities between IENs and Course Instructors (email and phone);
- Synchronous and asynchronous learning;
- Using sophisticated online technology for IENs to practice, develop, and demonstrate their skills and abilities and interact with one other and the Instructor;
- Module-based, scaffolding, and built-in remediation to ensure learning outcomes are met before IENs are allowed to advance in the courses;
- English as an Additional Language (EAL) expertise to ensure that the courses are appropriately scaffolding from simple to complex, with additional learning activities built in;
- Tutors for IENs available by phone and email to support them with the courses;
- A culturally inclusive and responsive learning environment
