Content (course unit)

- patient’s holistic nursing care practice

Prerequisites (course unit)

The student has completed Supervised clinical trainings 1-5 and participated in Supervised clinical training 6. Participated in the nursing theory studies related to the clinical training area.

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.
