Clinical Exercise Practicum 2 CXA446

Launceston

Introduction

This is the second of three linked dissertation units. Students conduct research into a field of nursing practice which is informed and supported by collaborative seminars and workshops that provide the student with a forum in which to critique and develop their own research and that of others. The seminars focus on the application of research knowledge and skills to the research being conducted. In this unit students will further develop the research project that will be reported in the thesis submitted for examination in CNA474: Dissertation Part 3.
