HEAAN6605 Specialty Medical - Surgical Nursing Practice
This unit explores the applied role of the advanced clinical nurse in the medical-surgical care setting. Through this unit students will engage in the application of advanced level clinical reasoning in the medical-surgical care clinical setting. This unit focuses on a diverse range of patient population in terms of age, illnesses, chronicity and co morbidities. As patient cases become increasingly more complex, often resulting in acute episodes demanding specialised expert care, medical-surgical nurses must possess a comprehensive knowledge base to effectively manage their daily responsibilities and mitigate undesirable outcomes. Leveraging on existing nursing expertise and skills, this unit aims to further enhance clinical competence, with a specific focus on advancing practice and equipping you with the necessary clinical skills to care for complex medical-surgical and deteriorating patients.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,157
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,157
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
