Synopsis
In this course, students are introduced to beginning theory and clinical skills. The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia standards for practice for the registered nurse are used as a framework to guide students in relation to person-centred care, patient safety, cultural and contextual competence, and developing practice. The knowledge developed in this course is scaffolded to NUR1299, NUR1202 and applied in a variety of practice settings across the program. Through theory and simulated learning students learn the basic principles of: infection control; holistic nursing assessment including vital signs; basic wound care; safe nursing care to support activities of daily living; and manual handling across the lifespan.
This course contains a mandatory residential school for external students and mandatory on-campus laboratories for on-campus students.
