This capstone subject supports students to connect simulated practice to nursing practice in authentic health settings, through active participation in a range of simulation scenarios. Students will demonstrate the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to ensure the safety of those experiencing health challenges; promote healing and caring in practice; be mindful when communicating; and be confident to employ clinical reasoning, informed by the latest research evidence, to plan, prioritise, deliver and evaluate nursing care.

Learning activities

Intensive

At the compulsory intensive, students will undertake simulation learning experiences in the simulation spaces, which may be permanent ‘nursing labs’ on each campus and/or other simulation learning spaces that replicate where nurses may work.

Each of the clinical case studies or health-related scenarios used to support the simulation learning experiences will focus on the role as a nurse. While there is at times consideration of the multidisciplinary team in the scenarios, and 'includes a hybrid approach that includes the lecturer/facilitator’ and ‘to complete the whole scenario/to finish the scenario’ repetitive.

There are many different simulation approaches used in the SNMIH, including peer-to-peer, task trainers, role playing, human patient simulators, actors and computer-based simulation.

Students may find the clinical case study or health-related scenario, used as part of the simulation learning experience, includes a hybrid approach that includes the lecturer / facilitator and employs more than one type of simulation. To complete the whole scenario, students may move from one learning station to the next to finish the scenario.
