Overview
Undergraduate nursing students need to develop the ability to link theory to practice. This course relates to skills developed in the theory and simulation-based courses throughout both first and second year. As students enter the final year of the program, this course enables students to integrate theoretical knowledge into practice whilst caring for individuals across the lifespan with acute and chronic illnesses/ conditions. Students will be able to consolidate the clinical skills of a Registered Nurse in accordance with the NMBA standards across a range of clinical settings.
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. These competency items form part of the UniSQ accreditation agreement with the Australian Nursing & Midwifery Council [ANMAC].
