When nursing assessment and intervention are focused on the family as a system rather than on one individual client, new competencies have to be developed. The University of Que'bec in Hull offers an innovative learning experience in the post-R.N. baccalaureate program, which includes a 45-hour theoretical course entitled "Family-Centered Nursing Interventions" and a 135-hour practicum called "Clinical Practicum in the Nursing Care of Families. " This article describes the use of conceptual models in nursing (Roy and Orem) to teach family nursing theory and practice.
