Course description

This foundation course provides students the opportunity to explore the role of the Nurse Practitioner from inception to contemporary practice within an international perspective. Developing an understanding of the key legislative, governance and operational structures to practice, students work to develop a concept of innovative opportunity for Nurse Practitioner implementation within healthcare. This course further builds competence through incorporating the `National safety and quality health service standards¿ and `Nurse Practitioner standards for practice¿, enabling the critical review and evaluation of literature surrounding the role of the NP.
