NURBN3032 Nursing Context 9: Transitioning to Nursing Practice
This unit aims to prepare students for a satisfying and sustainable nursing and/or midwifery career and address contemporary issues associated with making the transition from student nurse and midwife to graduate nurse and/or midwife. Students will develop an understanding of the importance and complexity of negotiating professional relationships within the workplace through solution-focused problem-solving strategies and change management principles which have direct applicability to the care of `self¿. Students will explore the role of the Registered Nurse and/or Registered Midwife as a leader and will develop strategies for practice. The role of the Registered Nurse or Registered Midwife in the provision and maintenance of safe and quality healthcare encompassed within the National Safety and Quality Safety Standards for practice will be explored along with a consideration of the role that auditing risk provides. Students will also develop skills and attitudes required to actively participate in the employment seeking process and apply for roles within the Graduate Nurse and/or Midwife Program and beyond. Using the principles of life-long learning as the framework for a fulfilling career as a professional nurse or midwife, students will explore the various career, study and research pathways, continuing professional development pathways and engagement for career advancement.
