Overview

This unit builds on NUR3310, supporting students to develop nursing management skills related to the deteriorating patient in acute settings, and NUR2225 related to the client with an escalating mental health condition.

The unit focuses on teamwork, resilience, clinical risk and professional identity to prepare students for transition to professional practice.

This approach will complement the extensive clinical experience that students will undertake during this unit.

In simulated and clinical settings, students will apply evidence-based diagnostic, therapeutic and preventative techniques associated with caring for patients with complex healthcare needs in a range of healthcare settings.
