Content
This is one of three units within the Clinical Studies Cluster: Year 2. Students are provided with the opportunity to examine the range of roles and differing philosophies applicable to community nursing practice. The knowledge and skills required to assess and manage the needs of individuals, families, carers, and communities will be explored. In addition, health trends related to the increasing diversity of the population in the 21st century and the subsequent role of the community nurse in promoting health and preventing disease will be examined. The unit offers students an opportunity to learn about the nurse’s role in working with Australia’s vulnerable populations, and has a focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health issues. During a one (1) week clinical placement students will have the opportunity to further develop and apply knowledge and skills learned in this unit and previous units.
