Within emergency care and the rural and remote context, advanced nursing skills are essential to ensure optimum outcomes for the client. These skills ensure that appropriate assessment, triage, intervention and referral for continuity of care occur in the absence of support services. This course is designed to embed advanced nursing practice knowledge to promote critical thinking and decision making for autonomous and accountable practice, within such isolated contexts.

This course aims to improve advanced clinical decision making in caring for patients who are acutely ill / injured with the potential to develop critical illness, in an emergency care setting and in rural and remote nursing practice.

Students will critique and apply recent national and professional strategies to recognise deterioration and support those in need of critical/ emergency care in the emergency department, rural and remote settings. Students will explore and analyse evidence based strategies, legal frameworks, accountability; investigate advanced pharmacological concepts in the assessment and management of emergency care patients.

The specific clinical assessment required for the management of the critically ill / injured adult and paediatric delivered in emergency care environment will be addressed through work based learning within the collaborative practice framework.

On successful completion of this course students should be able to:

1. Identify and critically analyse the use of evidence-based professional practice guidelines for emergency care presentations and apply concepts of appropriate pharmacology in rural and remote settings;
2. Use multiple approaches to critical decision making necessary to ensure best practice and prioritise action according to the needs of the patient, applying patient -centred care in emergency presentations;
3. Develop and apply knowledge of essential skills of advanced nursing practice and apply these to rural and remote contexts in improving patient outcomes;
4. Accurately interpret integrated assessment findings to make informed clinical decision and demonstrate proficient application of your advanced nursing skills to your work context.
