Overview
Throughout this unit, you will acquire fundamental knowledge and skills to provide basic nursing care at at beginning level. In particular, you will be able to conduct a holistic assessment and assist a person with their activities of daily living in the simulated environment. You will be introduced to the significance of the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) Registered Nurse Standards for Practice (2016) and other policies, codes, and guidelines relevant to professional nursing practice. You will explore the importance of the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards (2017) to all nursing practice in Australia and commence using the Patient Safety Competency Framework (PSCF) (Levett-Jones et al., 2017) in your practice as a nursing student. You will become familiar with scope of practice using the decision-making framework (DMF) (NMBA, 2020).

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from SUTE
The residential schools were great and the staff were awesome.
Continue to review and manage residential schools to ensure a great student experience.
Feedback from SUTE
Unit coordinators have amazing knowledge and expert clinical skills which make them invaluable to learn from.
Unit coordinators will remain abreast of the most recent contemporary clinical skills applicable to the industry.
Feedback from SUTE
This unit is well paced and full of contemporary and industry specific modules.
After each iteration, the unit will be reviewed to maintain contemporary and industry-specific modules.
Feedback from SUTE
More time needs to be taken in the writing/proofreading of subject materials that are uploaded to moodle. There were significant spelling and grammatical errors throughout the unit, as well as in the assessment quizzes.
Unit coordinators and the Dean of Learning and Teaching (DDLT) will continue to proofread content, materials and assessment quizzes.
Feedback from SUTE
The maths component of the unit should be completed at home before attending residential school. Issues with clarity.
The maths exam is invigilated and therefore requires lecturers to oversee it as it is in progress. The exam questions are reviewed by the Head of Course (HoC), Head of College (HoC) and the Dean of Learning and Teaching (DDLT). This process will continue every term.
Feedback from Student Teams message
Thanks for all your feedback and encouragement for this term. Had a really great time studying this unit. We wouldn’t have done it without your support & encouragement. A massive credit to you three who made it easy for us. I look forward to studying with you again. Much appreciated for everything you did for us.
Unit coordinators will continue to support and encourage students to ensure an enjoyable learning experience.
Feedback from SUTE
Their online tutorials are well planned and thought out making them enjoying creating a comfortable and relaxed learning environment.
The online tutorials will continue.

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
What can you do to act with integrity?
