SHMCN6011 Nursing Practice 4: Consolidation of Practice 1
This course, along with SHMCN6012, will enable students to consolidate their learning from across the Master of Clinical Nursing (Graduate Entry) program by way of more specialised knowledge and skills development, and extended periods of clinical practice in diverse clinical settings. This may include a consolidated placement in one health care organisation for both courses. SHMCN6011 will enable students to build on learnings from previous courses in relation to nursing for mental health and well-being across the lifespan and in diverse clinical settings. The focus of the course is on contemporary mental health nursing concepts involving a recovery-focused and a lifespan-based approach to mental health care. Students will engage in more specialised skills development in culturally safe communication and mental health assessment, and the principles and components of recovery and collaborative relationships with people of diverse backgrounds experiencing mental ill health. The course will enable students to understand and evaluate their nursing practice in relation to key provisions of Mental Health Acts, particularly with regard to empowerment, collaboration, least restrictive environment, and attaining, preserving and establishing positive mental health outcomes. The course will also enable students to evaluate their nursing practice in relation to State and Commonwealth legislation and policies of relevance to promoting and supporting the mental health and wellbeing of the diverse Australian population, with particular consideration being given to priority populations.
