Course description
This course prepares students for the transition to professional nursing practice, professional practice requires soon-to-be graduates to draw on the knowledge and skills they have acquired over the duration of their postgraduate program and apply these skills for lifelong learning. The course examines concepts around speaking up for safety and quality in health care. This includes learning skills around leadership and resilience that will support students in their future practice and will extend their reflective practice to consider personal contributions to their profession. The course also explores the use of health informatics in practice environments and expectations regarding competency as a newly registered practitioner in a range of contexts.
