Further information

Supervised clinical trainings 2-7 in the Degree Programme in Nursing should be planned and placed in different areas of nursing. EU directive requires following professional competence areas for a nurse responsible for general care: medical nursing, surgical nursing, nursing of children, young people and families, maternity care, mental health and substance abuse nursing, gerontological nursing, home care nursing, acute care nursing, palliative nursing, end-of-life care and nursing for disabled people. Due to limited number of clinical training placements, all areas of nursing are not available for all students. The student should consider how to achieve the goals set for all clinical training areas, combining goals from missing areas to actual clinical training places’ goals, when making individual clinical training plans. Before each clinical training the student should have participated in nursing theory studies related to the clinical training area. Clinical Trainings are carried out with patients of different ages in both primary health care and specialised care, ensuring the development of diverse competence. The student will benefit from having done a middle-phase clinical training in the same area of nursing as advanced studies’ clinical training.

The student should consider how to achieve the goals set for all clinical training areas, combining goals from missing areas to actual clinical training places’ goals, when making individual clinical training plans. Before each clinical training the student should have participated in nursing theory studies related to the clinical training area. Clinical Trainings are carried out with patients of different ages in both primary health care and specialised care, ensuring the development of diverse competence. The student will benefit from having done a middle-phase clinical training in the same area of nursing as advanced studies’ clinical training.

Prerequisites (course unit)

The student has participated in the first semester studies, at least the courses Basics of clinical nursing, Infection control, Pharmacotherapy and medical calculations and Supervised clinical training 1.

Further information (course unit)

Supervised clinical trainings 2-7 in the Degree Programme in Nursing should be planned and placed in different areas of nursing. EU directive requires following professional competence areas for a nurse responsible for general care: medical nursing, surgical nursing, nursing of children, young people and families, maternity care, mental health and substance abuse nursing, gerontological nursing, home care nursing, acute care nursing, palliative nursing, end-of-life care and nursing for disabled people. Due to limited number of clinical training placements, all areas of nursing are not available for all students. The student should consider how to achieve the goals set for all clinical training areas, combining goals from missing areas to actual clinical training places’ goals, when making individual clinical training plans. Before each clinical training the student should have participated in nursing theory studies related to the clinical training area. Clinical Trainings are carried out with patients of different ages in both primary health care and specialised care, ensuring the development of diverse competence. The student will benefit from having done a middle-phase clinical training in the same area of nursing as advanced studies’ clinical training.

Prerequisites (course unit)

The student has participated in the first semester studies, at least the courses Basics of clinical nursing, Infection control, Pharmacotherapy and medical calculations and Supervised clinical training 1.

Further information (course unit)

Supervised clinical trainings 2-7 in the Degree Programme in Nursing should be planned and placed in different areas of nursing. EU directive requires following professional competence areas for a nurse responsible for general care: medical nursing, surgical nursing, nursing of children, young people and families, maternity care, mental health and substance abuse nursing, gerontological nursing, home care nursing, acute care nursing, palliative nursing, end-of-life care and nursing for disabled people. Due to limited number of clinical training placements, all areas of nursing are not available for all students. The student should consider how to achieve the goals set for all clinical training areas, combining goals from missing areas to actual clinical training places’ goals, when making individual clinical training plans. Before each clinical training the student should have participated in nursing theory studies related to the clinical training area. Clinical Trainings are carried out with patients of different ages in both primary health care and specialised care, ensuring the development of diverse competence. The student will benefit from having done a middle-phase clinical training in the same area of nursing as advanced studies’ clinical training.

Prerequisites (course unit)

The student has participated in the first semester studies, at least the courses Basics of clinical nursing, Infection control, Pharmacotherapy and medical calculations and Supervised clinical training 1.

Further information (course unit)

Supervised clinical trainings 2-7 in the Degree Programme in Nursing should be planned and placed in different areas of nursing. EU directive requires following professional competence areas for a nurse responsible for general care: medical nursing, surgical nursing, nursing of children, young people and families, maternity care, mental health and substance abuse nursing, gerontological nursing, home care nursing, acute care nursing, palliative nursing, end-of-life care and nursing for disabled people. Due to limited number of clinical training placements, all areas of nursing are not available for all students. The student should consider how to achieve the goals set for all clinical training areas, combining goals from missing areas to actual clinical training places’ goals, when making individual clinical training plans. Before each clinical training the student should have participated in nursing theory studies related to the clinical training area. Clinical Trainings are carried out with patients of different ages in both primary health care and specialised care, ensuring the development of diverse competence. The student will benefit from having done a middle-phase clinical training in the same area of nursing as advanced studies’ clinical training.

Prerequisites (course unit)

The student has participated in the first semester studies, at least the courses Basics of clinical nursing, Infection control, Pharmacotherapy and medical calculations and Supervised clinical training 1.

Further information (course unit)

Supervised clinical trainings 2-7 in the Degree Programme in Nursing should be planned and placed in different areas of nursing. EU directive requires following professional competence areas for a nurse responsible for general care: medical nursing, surgical nursing, nursing of children, young people and families, maternity care, mental health and substance abuse nursing, gerontological nursing, home care nursing, acute care nursing, palliative nursing, end-of-life care and nursing for disabled people. Due to limited number of clinical training placements, all areas of nursing are not available for all students. The student should consider how to achieve the goals set for all clinical training areas, combining goals from missing areas to actual clinical training places’ goals, when making individual clinical training plans. Before each clinical training the student should have participated in nursing theory studies related to the clinical training area. Clinical Trainings are carried out with patients of different ages in both primary health care and specialised care, ensuring the development of diverse competence. The student will benefit from having done a middle-phase clinical training in the same area of nursing as advanced studies’ clinical training.

- patient’s holistic nursing care in practice
- nursing care plan for own patient
- the context for learning is in long-term care units in basic health care.

Prerequisites (course unit)

The student has participated in the first semester studies, at least the courses Basics of clinical nursing, Infection control, Pharmacotherapy and medical calculations and Supervised clinical training 1.

Further information (course unit)

Supervised clinical trainings 2-7 in the Degree Programme in Nursing should be planned and placed in different areas of nursing. EU directive requires following professional competence areas for a nurse responsible for general care: medical nursing, surgical nursing, nursing of children, young people and families, maternity care, mental health and substance abuse nursing, gerontological nursing, home care nursing, acute care nursing, palliative nursing, end-of-life care and nursing for disabled people. Due to limited number of clinical training placements, all areas of nursing are not available for all students. The student should consider how to achieve the goals set for all clinical training areas, combining goals from missing areas to actual clinical training places’ goals, when making individual clinical training plans. Before each clinical training the student should have participated in nursing theory studies related to the clinical training area. Clinical Trainings are carried out with patients of different ages in both primary health care and specialised care, ensuring the development of diverse competence. The student will benefit from having done a middle-phase clinical training in the same area of nursing as advanced studies’ clinical training.
