Synopsis

This course applies the concepts of personal and client vulnerability and safety, from a bio-psycho-social perspective. It promotes a holistic approach to client assessment and management as students extend their prior learning by utilising simulated learning situations coupled with their clinical experiences. This will facilitate the development of students' personal and therapeutic communication skills with the aim of producing learners who are able to demonstrate critical thinking, reflection and safe transfer of theory from the simulated situations to the real world of practice and to their subsequent courses of study. A two (2) week clinical practicum experience is incorporated in this course to enable students to apply their learning to the 'real world of nursing practice.'
