This module introduces students to a specialist or surgical-medical care setting, permitting them to observe and, where appropriate, participate in patient care within that setting. The aim of this module is to provide students with insights and understandings into the way that care is planned, organised and delivered within the clinical setting. Students will be provided with opportunities to observe and, where and when appropriate, to engage in patient care under the supervision of the registered nurse. Students are expected to be pro-active in the acquisition of their clinical skills, using the NCAD document for guidance and as evidence of satisfactory clinical performance. The areas that may be linked to this module include: care of the older person, emergency department, intellectual disability, outpatients department, maternity care, community care, mental health and psychiatry nursing, operating theatre, paediatric ICU/HDU, public health nursing and medical-surgical nursing. The credit load of the module reflects the student effort hours required to achieve the learning outcomes.
The module is part of the essential clinical requirements for professional registration. The student must pass all individual clinical placements within the module before a pass grade can be awarded for the module. All clinical placement modules must be passed and all of the clinical time completed for the preceding stage before the student can progress to the next stage of the programme.
