NURS5044: Exploring Nursing Practice
The unit will address characteristics of the registered nurse role and how specialty-focused nursing practice impacts on patient care. Students will undertake an exploration of the accuracy of data and information used to formulate evidence-based practice. In particular, students will explore the research evidence that supports contemporary clinical nursing practice and examine how this evidence can be used to deliver clinical nursing practice to different patient groups. To investigate the evidence base for nursing practice, students will examine in detail an area of current relevant practice. This topic will be related to their own contemporary practices and students will investigate the evidence base and how this supports or changes current practice.
