In this subject you will refine your abilities to: manage care for several complex patients; reflect on your personal practice; plan, implement and evaluate prioritised evidence-based person-centred care for multiple individuals. The subject content builds on previously learnt concepts of person-centred care and assessment, situational management, nursing inquiry, therapeutic and professional communication and client education that are applied across the lifespan. The focus of the subject is to assist you to develop the repertoire of skills required in contemporary nursing practice to care for patients with all abilities across the lifespan. Evidenced Based Practice will be further developed. Further nursing theories will be explored. You will also be encouraged to further explore occupational health and safety as it relates to healthcare delivery and self care. The six-week clinical placement will allow you to consolidate your professional nursing practice in readiness to transition to the workforce. You will manage person-centred health requirements in acute, subacute, primary care, mental health, aged care, or paediatrics. The clinical practicum will allow you to integrate learnt theoretical principles to the nursing practice of patients and plan, implement and evaluate care across the lifespan. In this placement you will advance your skills and knowledge in medication management, refined health assessment and working as a member of the healthcare team.
Capstones provide students with a way of integrating and applying knowledge and skills gained throughout their course.
