Course Outline
This course will provide a broad introduction to the current professional nursing role and organisational context, and allow students to begin identifying their own strengths, opportunities, and challenges as an advanced practice nurse. An in-depth exploration of clinical practice topics will include a series of learning activities linked to the NGR5013 outcomes (developing professional judgment and the ability to plan for change). The aim is to develop students’ understanding of how nurses can contribute to service planning, provision and evaluation within an organisational context. It also allows students to evaluate their own role as an advanced practice nurse.
Nursing staff at all levels in health care organizations experience significant variation across organisations; however, there are similarities in organizational structures, values and culture that influence nursing staff behaviours. Thus this assessment requires students to demonstrate critical thinking skills through reflective practice.
In addition, students will be expected to demonstrate: the ability to identify key elements within contemporary theory and research relevant to clinical practice; the ability to integrate knowledge from diverse perspectives including patient safety/quality improvement/macro-level policy; the ability reflect on own learning and growth through reflection exercises and peer feedback.
Learning Outcomes On successful completion of this unit the student should:
1. Recognise different types of nursing roles within healthcare organizations 2. Demonstrate critical thinking skills through reflective practice 3. Identify key elements within contemporary theory and research relevant to clinical practice 4. Integrated knowledge from diverse perspectives including patient safety/quality improvement/macro-level policy
Objectives / Learning Outcomes
To develop critical thinking skills that enables nurses to identify what makes effective nursing leadership possible.
Demonstrate how nursing leadership might influence individual outcomes when a leader applies appropriate leadership principles in various situations by critically analysing current literature regarding effective nursing leadership practices using relevant examples from Australian contexts.
To develop critical thinking skills that enables nurses to critically analyse information about practices that affect patient outcomes by applying current evidence-based clinical leadership principles in various situations using relevant examples from Australian contexts.
An introduction or orientation into clinical competence should be provided prior to assignment instructions given for this unit.
Teaching Approach
The teaching approach is collaborative with discussion groups where group members have a range of experiences which are valued. Students are encouraged throughout the unit ‘to discuss each other’s work’ because they learn together more effectively if they know each other’s backgrounds (e.g., region).
Integrative learning is required for this unit with emphasis on communication methods that promote these interactions including online discussion forums. Students are assessed against these outcomes at both mid-semester assessments.
Assessment
Assessment Tasks may include one or more of:
· Group presentations (50%)
· Individual reflective journals (50%)
Other Assessment Requirements
Reflective journals must include:
· A literature review outlining your chosen area of interest relating to your role as an advanced practice nurse (25%)
· Your personal analysis relating your readings (75%)

INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES TO STUDYING ADVANCED NURSING PRACTICE
Many types of individuals engage in interdisciplinary activity and it is anticipated that some form of interprofessional engagement will occur during this course. This means that different disciplines can work together towards common goals including research, education, planning and policy development or workplace improvement efforts involving members from multiple professions. This way all aspects within nursing can be studied and learned without bias against other professions working together; yet still allowing them to take advantage from each others’ strengths whilst working together toward providing greater benefits to clients within the health care system.
Students enrolled in this course will be required to undertake some form interprofessional learning activity throughout their studies at JCU where appropriate and necessary.
