NUR4153 Course Objectives

Course Information: This course provides you with the skills and knowledge you need to be able to assess patient needs, design and implement care plans for the treatment of patients requiring a nursing care plan. You will be introduced to the role of the nurse in each stage of the nursing process, with specific emphasis on assessment skills and clinical reasoning. An essential component of this course is that as an instructor, I am your primary source of information about this course. Any questions or concerns you have regarding this course should be addressed to me directly, not to other students. If you do not understand something related to this course, ask me for clarification. If you have a question about what is expected from you during the class sessions, please discuss it with me.

The midterm exam will test your understanding of basic concepts covered in this class. It will also test your ability to read critically and identify good sources (other than the textbook) for information.

The final exam will test your ability to apply concepts learned throughout the semester in various ways.

Assignments

Midterm Exam – There are three sections to the midterm exam:

Section 1: The first section contains multiple choice questions. Each question has four possible answers, one of which is correct. Most questions are short answer questions where you write a few sentences as if it were a paragraph.
Section 2: The second section contains short answer questions where you write short paragraphs answering the questions posed in Section 1.
Section 3: The third section contains true/false statements where there are four answers and one answer is incorrect.

Multiple Choice Questions – Questions are multiple choice.
Short Answer Questions – Questions are short answer.

* Assessment tasks are included within each Learning Guide.

Assessment Task 1

Students are required to complete two written assessments throughout the duration of the course. Each assessment task requires students to synthesise theory and evidence based practice into a reflection that demonstrates their ability to integrate critical thinking, reflective thinking, self-reflection, clinical judgment and communication skills in relation to their care plan.

Assessment Task 2

Students are required to develop a learning contract during the semester which sets out their personal learning goals for each unit or topic covered during the semester. The learning contract is discussed in class where it is established what content needs to be covered by students over the period of time allocated for this assessment task. The student’s participation throughout the semester is monitored through discussion, seminars/lectures and/or tutorials.

Individual Learning Activities (I.L.A.s)

I.L.A.s are group assignments that support students’ knowledge development throughout their program by providing them with opportunities to demonstrate what they have learned about specific topics via different modes such as essay questions, presentations/presentations/workshops/exercises etc., over a specified period of time.

See individual Learning Activities section below for further details regarding I.L.A.s within this program.

Assessment Tasks (T.A.s)

T.A.s support students’ knowledge development throughout their program by providing them with opportunities that allow them demonstrate what they have learnt about specific topics via different modes such as essay questions, presentations/presentations/workshops/exercises etc., over a specified period of time.

There are four types of TAs:

1) Written Assignment Tasks
These TAs cover theoretical material prepared by lecturers. These TAs are assigned randomly by lecturers using a distribution system known as ‘No Chance’.

2) Practical Assessment Tasks
These TAs require students’ active participation in practical procedures involving direct patient/client involvement across a range of health care settings. These TAs are assigned randomly by lecturers using an allocation system called ‘Random’.

3) In Class Assessments (ICAs)
These TAs require students’ active participation in discussion based lectures/seminars where multiple choice questions might be used. These TAs are assigned randomly by lecturers using an allocation system called ‘Random’.

4) Role Plays/Scenario Writing Assignments (RRA/SSA)
These TA’s allow students’ opportunity use theory presented/discussed during lectures/seminars/problem solving teaching techniques within an educational scenario where they apply applied knowledge in realistic settings involving both clients/patients/family members outside classroom settings where appropriate strategies/approaches would have been used beforehand depending on particular client circumstances/habits etc..

See individual Assessment Task section below for further details regarding assessments within this program.

NUR4153 Course Delivery Modes

course in Australia

We will compare two delivery modes for NUR4153: theory-based learning and clinical placements.

Theoretical learning is highly structured and can be delivered using a traditional lecture format. Alternatively, it can be delivered through a range of means such as distance education, seminars and online materials. The theoretical learning material may be sourced from any number of sources including university departments, the Australian College of Nursing website, various nursing publications, websites or videos. The material is then integrated into a concept map that outlines relevant nursing concepts including the therapeutic relationship. The student’s role is to integrate these concepts with clinical decision making practice
