This is the fourth workplace integrated learning unit in a series of six clinical practice units. This unit focuses on developing skills related to problem solving, decision making and care delivery for clients who are experiencing a range of health problems, including mental health problems. Students will build on the general knowledge and skills that were gained during first year units through the application of concepts and principles to particular client problems, and the implementation of more complex nursing interventions. In working alongside registered nurses in various health care facilities the student will develop a greater appreciation of the role of registered nurses in the provision of health care. Students will demonstrate professionalism as a Stage Four student in the workplace setting in accordance with School of Nursing and Midwifery Clinical Practice Guidelines and follow the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Council Competencies.
Students must pass NCS2101, NPP2101, NSC2103.
