NURS5057: Cancer and Haematology Nursing Practice

• Assessment 1 -  annotated bibliography: The purpose of this assessment is to review the current evidence for the management of one symptom, or side effect of treatment which may be experienced by a person with cancer or a haematological malignancy, and provide an annotated bibliography. Students will identify 6 key articles that provide an evidence-base for the management of the symptom or side effect they have chosen.
• Assessment 2 – reflective post and guided response: Students will write a short reflective piece that describes one or two experiences from their clinical practice that relate to health promotion in practice. Students will then write a brief response to feedback or prompts provided by the unit coordinator, extending their reflection and linking their discussion to the selected article and clinical practice
• Assessment 3 - clinical portfolio and reflection: The portfolio will be modelled on an integration of two types of approach; the process-orientated approach and the standards-based approach. The portfolio should be coherent, comprehensive, and should provide evidence of the student's ability as a specialist cancer or haematology nurse, in addition to the ability to critically reflect on one’s practice and strategically plan future professional development.
