NUR5603 · Nurse practitioner essentials 3

Overview

This unit runs in your final semester of the Master of Advanced Clinical Nursing - Nurse Practitioner. There are several mandatory assessments required by The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) in the Master of Advanced Clinical Nursing - Nurse Practitioner. This unit draws together academic work with workplace activities and is the repository for the workplace assessments. In the workplace, students will have both a clinical mentor, and a professional mentor, who meet regularly with you, set learning objectives and provide feedback.

Offerings

Assessment

The Handbook does not list a final examination among the assessment items. That is not a guarantee there is none.

Assessment in this unit includes hurdle assessment tasks. Failure of any hurdle assessment task may result in failure of the unit.

Assessment details may change. Please refer to the assessment information in Moodle closer to the start of the teaching period.
