What do you mean by "Postbasic Nursing Education"?

It would mean to me continuing education for nurses./

As our population continues to grow and age, so does the demand for health care professionals qualified to work with both the elderly and the terminally ill.

Older patients often require complex and specialized care to maintain physical and mental health. With new advances in all areas of healthcare, Registered Nurses specializing in Gerontology are able to offer their patients increased mobility, improved resilience and greater peace of mind.

Palliative Care aspires to relieve the suffering and enhance the quality of life in persons living with acute or chronic life threatening illnesses. Registered Nurses specializing in Palliative Care assist these persons with their physical, psychosocial and spiritual concerns during their life as well as during their death and in the bereavement processes.

MacEwan's certificate program in Post-Basic Nursing Practice: Hospice Palliative Care and Gerontological Nursing combines the common skill sets necessary for practice in both of these areas while preparing graduates for rewarding careers in their practice specialty.
