General Information

Overview

This is your final unit in the Master of Nursing (Graduate Entry) which must commence and be completed in the final six months of your course. You will apply the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) Registered nurse standards for practice (2016). You will continue to explore the importance of the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards (2017) and apply the Patient Safety Competency Framework (PSCF) (Levett-Jones et al., 2017). You will be expected to identify risks and recognise and respond appropriately to the deteriorating patient in the simulated and clinical environment. You will work within your scope of practice using the Decision-making Framework (NMBA, 2020). You are required to participate in a compulsory four (4) day residential school prior to attending professional experience placement for this unit. This unit includes a 280-hour block professional experience placement to consolidate your knowledge, skills, and experiences prior to being deemed eligible for registration as a nurse (Division 1) with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA). This must be undertaken in a fulltime capacity. You must meet specific mandatory health, safety and security requirements to be eligible to attend each professional experience placement. Professional experience placements may be limited in your community, and you may be placed in other locations. Please be prepared financially and personally to cover the costs of relocating for placements. Due to the limited availability of placements, some block placements have start and/or end dates that fall outside standard term dates. You must be physically and mentally well and meet the inherent requirements of the course to undertake this unit in the simulated and clinical environment. To be successful in this unit you must pass both assessment items.
