| Syllabus: | In collaboration with industry and the School of Nursing and Midwifery, develop and evaluate learning objectives relevant to a clinical setting including theory, nursing care and research relevant to placement. Students assess, plan and coordinate care requirements for a case load. Students undertake autonomous practice, apply therapeutic communication and meet nursing competency standards in clinical contexts. The unit explores contemporary issues in nursing. Medication dosage calculations and pharmacology knowledge are further developed. Students engage in Inter-professional health care practice and provide clinical care within scope of practice, recognising role limitations as a beginning practitioner. National registration requirements are covered and a professional portfolio culminating in the capstone experience. Simulation experiences include comprehensive care of the unconscious patient and management of a deteriorating patient. Students incorporate knowledge of the 10 National standards into patient care. |
