Students undertake supervised/mentored clinical practice in a selected clinical setting
to develop their understanding of advanced practice nursing knowledge, reasoning,
and intervention skills for the prevention of disease, health promotion, and illness
within a specialised nursing area. With preceptor supervision, students synthesise
theoretical knowledge with clinical practicum situations in the evaluation of uncomplicated,
stable, patient/client presentations, demonstrated through complete and focused physical
examinations, history taking, diagnostic ordering and interpretation and therapeutic
management.
Learning Outcomes

of stable and uncomplicated presentations relevant to specialised nursing field with
supervision;
- differentiate between normal, variations of normal and abnormal findings in clinical
assessment;
- synthesise and interpret client/patient history, physical findings and diagnostic
data with supervision to identify normal and abnormal findings to generate problem
lists and problem prioritisation in stable and uncomplicated situations;
- make informed clinical decisions about preventative, diagnostic and therapeutic interventions
and treatment options in stable and uncomplicated situations;
- evaluate established and evolving clinical knowledge;
- identify intrinsic nursing values that inform nurse practitioner practice and an holistic
approach to patient/client/community care;
- actively participate in multidisciplinary team collaboration to facilitate safe and
effective patient/client centred health outcomes within a clearly defined scope of
practice;
