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. Students will progress from assisted practitioner
level to a level of increasing autonomy. Students are required to synthesise theoretical
knowledge with clinical practicum situations in the evaluation of complex and unpredictable
patient/client presentations, inclusive of comorbidities, demonstrated through complete
and focused physical examinations, history taking, diagnostic ordering and interpretation
and therapeutic management.
Learning Outcomes
- conduct advanced, culturally competent comprehensive and holistic health assessment
relevant to the specialised nursing field across stable, unpredictable and complex
situations;
- differentiate between normal, variations of normal and abnormal findings in clinical
assessment with minimal supervision;
- demonstrate ability to synthesise and interpret client/patient history, physical findings
and diagnostic data to identify normal and abnormal findings to generate problem lists,
problem prioritisation, differential diagnoses and probable diagnosis in stable, unpredictable
and complex situations;
- demonstrate application of informed and autonomous clinical decisions related to preventative
management, diagnostics, therapeutic interventions and treatment options in stable,
unpredictable and complex situations;
- demonstrate ability to evaluate and apply established and evolving clinical knowledge
to practice throughout the individual practice context;
- demonstrate ability to appropriately utilise clinical decision tools in practice settings;
- demonstrate the ability to conduct research;
- actively participate in and lead multidisciplinary team collaboration to facilitate
safe and effective patient/client centred health outcomes within a clearly defined
scope of practice;
- critically reflect on clinical skills and competencies for advanced and extended clinical
practice.
