Online (self-paced)Course Content

Our online fully self-paced course includes interactive eLearning modules, short video clips, links to tools and resources and access to Virtual Interactive Case software to practice your clinical decision making. All course content is delivered using our U of T learning management system – Quercus. We anticipate this course will take 10-20hrs to complete. Your access to the course and resources will begin approximately 5 business days after you register and will end 3 months after the day you receive access.

Online Exam

Your final completion grade includes results from section quizzes and a final exam. You may attempt the section quizzes and the final exam as many times as you wish. Results will be provided immediately. You are required to achieve 75% in order to successfully complete the course.

Please Note:

Upon successful completion of this course you will receive your final mark and a certificate of completion via email. The registration form offers a place where you may give permission to the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing to release your course status (pass) to your regulatory College/Association. In Ontario: within 7 days of achievement of an overall passing grade of 75% or higher, the University will automatically start the notification process. Information sent includes the participant’s full name as it appears on their College license, date of course, and completion status as “pass”.  Grades are not submitted.  If you are an NP, the CNO will notify you within approximately 1-2 weeks that you have met the educational requirements for NP prescribing of controlled drugs and substances and are allowed to practice without restrictions.  NP students will have the course applied to their NP registration once you have written your NP exam. Other Provinces/Territories: There is not an automatic notification process in place but the University will release the information as requested directly through our pd.nursing@utoronto.ca e-mail by the individual and the approving regulator body.
