Overview

For an undergraduate nursing student, the ability to link theory to practice is integral. This course relates to skills developed in the theory and simulation-based courses in first and beginning second year. This course enables students to integrate theoretical knowledge into practice whilst caring for individuals across the lifespan with acute and chronic illnesses/conditions.

The assessment in this course is competency-based. Students will achieve either a pass or fail for each assessment. Students need to pass all assessment items to successfully complete the course.
