NURS1004: Nursing Knowledge, Practice and Policy

Semester 1, 2025 [Normal day] - Camperdown/Darlington, Sydney

This unit of study explores nursing from historical, theoretical, professional, ethical and legal perspectives. It aims to develop knowledge and mindful action in nursing practice by introducing students to the Framework for Practice Thinking, the Fundamentals of Care framework and the concept of partnering with patients in their own care. An understanding of the role of the nurse in the provision of comprehensive care across different contexts, the importance of interprofessional collaboration and the principles underpinning the safe practice of nursing, including evidence-based practice and infection control will be introduced. The unit will also address the role of digital health technology in the provision of safe, quality healthcare. Furthermore, students will be prepared with the communication skills required to enable effective partnerships with patients across the lifespan and in the context of cultural and social diversity.

Early feedback task

This unit includes an early feedback task, designed to give you feedback prior to the census date for this unit. Details are provided in the Canvas site and your result will be recorded in your Marks page. It is important that you actively engage with this task so that the University can support you to be successful in this unit.

Assessment summary

Assessment 1: (Online Quiz) You will undertake a 12-minute quiz (comprising of 10 questions).

The online quiz is intended to meet early feedback assessment task requirements and will assess student’s knowledge of content covered in this unit of study up to (but not including) week 3 content. The online quiz contains 10 questions (either multiple choice, or true or false questions). This quiz will include material covered in lectures, tutorials and clinical laboratories to date. The online quiz is available on the NURS1004 canvas site for 24 hours only commencing Wednesday 12th March at 2359 hours until Thursday 13th March at 2359 hours.  You can choose the time within this 24 hour timeframe that you wish to complete the quiz however, the quiz will NOT be accessible outside these times. Once you log into the quiz, you have 12 minutes to complete all 10 questions. You are only permitted ONE attempt at this quiz so it is important that you are ready to spend the needed amount of time to complete it. 

Assessment 2: (Written essay) 1000 word essay on the following topic:

A reflective journal is intended to record your learning and progress over a period of time. This journal allows you to gain insights into learning and experiences, therefore enhancing your knowledge and skills as a student nurse. It is intended to foster critical thinking and reasoning, helping you grow both professionally and personally.

In this assessment, Students are required to maintain a weekly reflective journal over a 5-week period. Each entry should demonstrate thoughtful reflection on your learning experiences, challenges, and growth throughout your course. The journal involves documenting your thoughts, perceptions, and interactions related to your learning and experiences.

This assessment task must be formatted as follows:

- One entry per week for 5 weeks

-  Each entry should be approximately 200 words (total word count is 1000 words)

- Entries must be dated and clearly labelled (Week 1-5) and submitted as one submission

- Written in first person however it must have an academic style and include relevant course concepts and terminology.

- Reference course materials and readings where appropriate

You must base your reflection on the Gibbs’ reflective cycle (1988) as cited in Jasper (2013), which outlines six stages of reflection; description, feelings, evaluation, analysis conclusion, and action.

Your written reflection must include peer reviewed literature, and best practice guidelines from reputable sources using the latest version. You should avoid literature older than ten years and you must referenced properly in-text and in reference list. 

This assessment is due in Week 6  on Wednesday 2nd April 2025 @2359hours

Assessment 3: (Video and Critique). 

Group Video and written critique on a practical scenario student have learnt in their simulation lab classes to date. Students must demonstrate a manual handling skill and incorporate fundamental skills such as communication and teamwork, hand hygiene, and use of PPE into a more complex skill such as repositioning a patient and/ or moving a patient in or out of bed. For example, the patient needs to be assisted/instructed how to safely get out of bed and then assisted to mobilise and sit safely in a chair- the group may choose to use a walking aid for the patient as well.

This assessment is based on the need for continuous practice development and improvement towards increased effectiveness in patient-centred care (McCormack and McCance 2006). To commence your journey in the development of critical thinking and excellence in nursing practice you are required to work in a team of 3-4 to create one (1) clinical skills video followed by a group critique of your teams practice.

The video will be produced in your independent practice sessions. Each video should be no more than 5 minutes in duration and must be uploaded into Turnitin. Please note that the skill in the video does not have to be perfect.

Following completion of the video as a team, you must complete the following critique of your skill and fundamental aspects incorporated into this skill. See below:

  1. Identify three (3) critical elements of this procedure that were performed well either by an individual or as a team, according to best practice recommendations.
  2. Identify three (3) critical elements of this procedure where your team can improve in future practice according to best practice recommendations.
  3. Discuss each of the identified critical elements in points 1 and 2, using evidence to demonstrate why it was done well or required improvement.

For each of the elements identified, students must refer back to the video and clearly articulate where in the procedure the elements occurred (for example, refer back to the video at 1min and 45seconds to highlight the occurrence of a particular critical element).

  1. You must use peer-reviewed journal articles and/or textbooks to support your work. Citations and references should be in accordance with the APA 7th Edition Guidelines.

This assessment is due in week 9 on Wednesday 30th April @2359hours

Assessment 4: (Final exam)  - 

This exam will be held during exam week and will be a 1 hour exam. Content will be taken from the lectures, tutorials, essential readings and clinical simulation laboratories in this subject throughout the entire teaching period.

The examination content will relate to learning outcomes 1-8.

Assessment 5: Introductory Interprofessional workshop: 

In March 2025, a large number of health professional students will work in inter-professional teams to foster effective collaboration for the future improvement of health outcomes. This workshop will provide an opportunity to build and develop students' understanding of role identification, effective communication and teamwork. Students will be required to participate in teams to complete activities that have been developed to promote collaborative practice. Following the activities there will be a debriefing session where students can reflect on their team performance and relate this to health care.

Submission of all items and a satisfactory participation mark is a requirement for successful completion of this unit of study.

Please note: Each student is required to submit all assessment items in order to pass this unit. Detailed information for each assessment can be found on Canvas.

Use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and automated writing tools

Except for supervised exams or in-semester tests, you may use generative AI and automated writing tools in assessments unless expressly prohibited by your unit coordinator. 

For exams and in-semester tests, the use of AI and automated writing tools is not allowed unless expressly permitted in the assessment instructions. 

The icons in the assessment table above indicate whether AI is allowed – whether full AI, or only some AI (the latter is referred to as “AI restricted”). If no icon is shown, AI use is not permitted at all for the task. Refer to Canvas for full instructions on assessment tasks for this unit. 

Your final submission must be your own, original work. You must acknowledge any use of automated writing tools or generative AI, and any material generated that you include in your final submission must be properly referenced. You may be required to submit generative AI inputs and outputs that you used during your assessment process, or drafts of your original work. Inappropriate use of generative AI is considered a breach of the Academic Integrity Policy and penalties may apply. 

The Current Students website provides information on artificial intelligence in assessments. For help on how to correctly acknowledge the use of AI, please refer to the  AI in Education Canvas site

Late submission

In accordance with University policy, these penalties apply when written work is submitted after 11:59pm on the due date:

  • Deduction of 5% of the maximum mark for each calendar day after the due date.
  • After ten calendar days late, a mark of zero will be awarded.

This unit has an exception to the standard University policy or supplementary information has been provided by the unit coordinator. This information is displayed below:

*Where an assignment is submitted late without an approved extension, a late penalty will apply. For every calendar day up to and including ten calendar days after the due date a penalty of 5% of the maximum awardable marks will be applied to late work. For work submitted more than ten calendar days after the due date a mark of zero marks will be awarded.

Academic integrity

The Current Student website provides information on academic integrity and the resources available to all students. The University expects students and staff to act ethically and honestly and will treat all allegations of academic integrity breaches seriously.

We use similarity detection software to detect potential instances of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breach. If such matches indicate evidence of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breaches, your teacher is required to report your work for further investigation.

Simple extensions

If you encounter a problem submitting your work on time, you may be able to apply for an extension of five calendar days through a simple extension.  The application process will be different depending on the type of assessment and extensions cannot be granted for some assessment types like exams.

Special consideration

If exceptional circumstances mean you can’t complete an assessment, you need consideration for a longer period of time, or if you have essential commitments which impact your performance in an assessment, you may be eligible for special consideration or special arrangements.

Special consideration applications will not be affected by a simple extension application.

Using AI responsibly

Co-created with students, AI in Education includes lots of helpful examples of how students use generative AI tools to support their learning. It explains how generative AI works, the different tools available and how to use them responsibly and productively.

Support for students

The Support for Students Policy reflects the University’s commitment to supporting students in their academic journey and making the University safe for students. It is important that you read and understand this policy so that you are familiar with the range of support services available to you and understand how to engage with them.

The University uses email as its primary source of communication with students who need support under the Support for Students Policy. Make sure you check your University email regularly and respond to any communications received from the University.
