NURBN2026 Nursing Practice 5: Person-Centered Nursing Practice B

This course will provide students with the skills, knowledge and attitudes required by nurses in the provision of consumer-led person-centred care. Students explore person-centred care for people experiencing an acute and subacute illness, requiring hospitalisation and/or surgery, for conditions involving the National Health Priority areas of the hepatic, immune, renal, reproductive, integumentary, gastrointestinal and special sense systems. Students will consolidate their understanding of the clinical reasoning cycle and apply the cycle to people with medical or surgical admissions, across the lifespan. Students will build on and refine assessment skills to conduct focused, person-centred assessments, interpret, and analyse findings to form nursing judgement and clinical decision making and inform a person-centred plan of care, implementation and evaluation of care. Students will have the opportunity to apply theory to practice during a structured clinical practicum experience. This course contains 120 hours Clinical Practice
