Course description
The aim of the course is to continue to develop students' foundational knowledge and skills related to professional nursing practice. The course will examine concepts related to delivering safe patient and person focused care to adults and children experiencing acute health care needs. The National Health Priority Areas will guide the course structure. There is an expectation that students continue to reflect on how their practice meets the NMBA Registered Nurse Standard for Practice. Students will consider the application of theoretical underpinnings of caring for patients with acute health needs.
