Developing Professional Nursing Practice CNA340
Launceston
This unit is being phased out, no new enrolments are being taken.
Introduction
This unit builds on the learning from Nursing Practice 3 and incorporates 240 hours of Professional Experience Placement (PEP). The unit focuses on assisting the student to transition to professional practice as a Registered Nurse through assessment of their progress towards the necessary capabilities of the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) Registered nurse standards for practice (2016). Resources emphasising “thinking and acting like a registered nurse” will assist the student to begin consolidating skills in meaningful reflective practice. Students will further develop their Professional Portfolio in this unit.
