NURS5087: Developing Nurse Practitioner Capability
2024 unit information
The unit provides direction and mentorship in assisting students to develop their knowledge and skills in relation to the NMBA Nurse Practitioner Standards for Practice (NMBA 2014) which will therefore be suitable for demonstrating their future capability to practice as a nurse practitioner. Selected current clinical and professionally related topics including: clinical judgement and decision making in advanced practice, risk benefit and risk management, judicious referrals, interdisciplinary practice, health promotion and counselling skills and the ethical and legal considerations of practice as a future nurse practitioner, will be explored both within the classroom and during a specified period of supernumerary integrated professional practice (SIPP) with an approved clinical supervisor (senior clinician whose work relates to the student's clinical focus).
