Central Time Zone - Daylight Saving Time Presenter: Josie Bolianatz, RN, MN, Lead, Clinical. Ontario Health. Title: Becoming a Nurse: Pedagogical Care and Professional Formation in Nursing Education.][cid:image006.jpg@01DCCB3B.51736BE0] ZOOM LINK: https://ca01web.zoom.us/j/67075400127?pwd=KmEp7gAlT280fpW2qARqiaXaG5qCJK.1 Abstract: Becoming a Nurse: Pedagogical Care and Professional Formation in a Concept-Based Curriculum Becoming a nurse is a transformative process that shapes an individual into a professional way of being in the world. This presentation shares research findings that explore how nursing students experience this process of professional formation within a concept-based curriculum (CBC), an educational model developed through student-centered and constructivist approaches to support deep learning and critical thinking. Guided by phenomenology and Wenger's Social Theory of Learning, this study examines the lifeworld of nursing students to understand how professional identity develops within contemporary nursing education. Using van Manen's phenomenology of practice and conversational interviews with final-year students, the research illustrates the lived experience of learning the nursing profession. Becoming a nurse is conceptualized as unfolding through a dynamic interplay between personal transformation and the structural conditions of education. Central to this process is pedagogical care-the relational way educators encounter and influence learners. Pedagogical care shapes how students come to understand themselves, others, and the meaning of nursing. This presentation demonstrates how a philosophical lens can generate practical pedagogical insight. It invites nurse educators and academic leaders to consider how intentionally designed learning environments can support professional formation and strengthen nursing's capacity to meet complex healthcare challenges.
