SHMCN6010 Nursing Context 8: Clinical Teaching and Leadership
Students are introduced to the techniques and strategies for successfully planning, implementing and assessing education and training in nursing practice. Students explore the role of the nurse, as a situational leader in clinical teams, and as an educator for consumers, health professionals and as a clinical practice supervisor of others in a variety of Australian health care settings. Students will explore learning and teaching theories applicable to clinical education and in teaching others. Students will also be introduced to a variety of leadership styles and techniques in nursing and will be encouraged to integrate these techniques into their own clinical practice to provide safe, high quality, person-centred care. Students will consider the NMBA Registered Nurse Standards for Practice (2016), Code of Professional Conduct for Nurses (2018) and Code of Ethics for Nurses (2018) as a framework for consolidating their practice and ensure that they are working within the regulated role of the Registered Nurse as an educator and leader.
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: $578
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $578
* 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.
