1 Subject at a glance 1.1 Student participation requirements The JCU Learning, Teaching and Assessment Policy (4.3) indicates that, “a 3 credit point subject will require a 130 hour work load of study-related participation including class attendance over the duration of the study period, irrespective of mode of delivery”. This work load comprises timetabled hours and other attendance requirements, as well as personal study hours, including completion of online learning activities and assessment requirements. Note that “attendance at specified classes will be a mandatory requirement for satisfactory completion of some subjects” (Learning, Teaching and Assessment Policy, 5.10); and that additional hours may be required per week for those students in need of English language, numeracy or other learning support.

•

Where more than 20% of tutorials are not attended, students with internal enrolment in the subject will be required to undertake appropriate make-up work, even when a medical certificate is supplied. A maximum of 20% of tutorials may be replaced with make-up work (for a 10 week subject this would equate to 2 weeks of tutorials). This will be assigned by the subject coordinator and will comprise activities and readings appropriate to the missed classes. Submission of completed make-up work to LearnJCU is required within 10 working days of the missed tutorial. Failure to submit/late submission of makeup work will result in the award of an NS, N or X (fail grade) for the subject.

•

Where clinical workshops are missed, students will be required to undertake appropriate make-up work. A maximum of 20% of workshops may be replaced with make-up work. All make-up work, requirements, worksheets and submission dropboxes can be found on the LearnJCU subject site in the tutorial and workshop make-up folder. Make-up required includes completion and submission of the relevant week's make up worksheet. Once the worksheet is complete and submitted you are to attend SDL to practice skills/scenarios missed. When confident in skills/knowledge you are then to book a time to attend during staffed SDL time in the laboratory to demonstrate skills. Attendance at the staffed SDL time for make-up must be arranged a week in advance with the subject coordinator or delegate. You must complete written make up work and have evidence of a scheduled booking within 10 working days of missed class unless alternative arrangements have been approved by the subject coordinator. Failure to attend scheduled make-up sessions will result in the award of an NS, N or X (fail grade) for the subject.

•

As of 30th March 2020. Workshop makeup is as follows: Where clinical workshops are missed, students will be required to undertake appropriate make-up work. A maximum of 20% of workshops may be replaced with makeup work. All make-up work, requirements, worksheets and submission dropboxes can be found on the LearnJCU subject site in the tutorial and workshop make-up folder. Make-up required includes completion and submission of any relevant week's make up worksheet. This will include review of vodcast and/or reading material set in relation to skill sessions. You are then to book into scheduled makeup sessions and discuss the knowledge gained with the facilitator. Session times will be posted on the subject site. You must complete written make up work and have evidence of a scheduled booking within 10 working days of missed class unless alternative arrangements have been approved by the subject coordinator. Failure to attend scheduled make-up sessions will result in the award of an NS, N or X (fail grade) for the subject.

•

If a student is absent for more than 40% of tutorials or 20% of workshops/labs for a given subject (including residential blocks), a fail grade (N or X) will be awarded for that subject.

•

If you arrive late to a workshop/lab or tutorial it is your responsibility to speak to the tutorial leader or lab facilitator to ensure you are marked present on the attendance roll. Any late arrival will be noted and make-up work may be required. Please note that arriving late is not considered professional behaviour and continual late attendance will be referred to the subject coordinator or course coordinator.

•

You must be in attendance for a period of 50minutes for a one hour tutorial and 100minutes for a 2 hour tutorial to be considered present.

2 Subject details 2.1 Subject description This subject introduces students to the application of the principles of person centred care. Skills in assisting with activities of daily living to maintain patient independence are developed. The techniques of physical and mental health assessment are practiced in a simulated setting.

2.2 Subject learning outcomes Students who successfully complete this subject will be able to: •

demonstrate techniques used to assess physical and mental health

•

describe the precautions necessary to maintain a safe environment for the patient, the nurse and colleagues

•

apply the Registered Nurse standards for practice in the provision of evidenced based nursing care in a simulated environment

•

These outcomes will contribute to your overall achievement of course learning outcomes. Your course learning outcomes can be located in the entry for your course in the electronic JCU Course and Subject Handbook 2020 (click on ‘Course Information’ bar/ select ‘Undergraduate Courses’ or ‘Postgraduate Courses’/ select relevant course/ scroll down to ‘Academic Requirements for Course Completion’, ‘Course learning outcomes’).

2.3 Learning and teaching in this subject Blended learning is the teaching strategy used in this subject. The blended learning approach comprises text and web-based information, together with access to video-podcasts and other materials loaded onto LearnJCU. This is to assist students to learn in a creative and flexible manner. Internal students will engage in face to face tutorials which are designed to be active learning sessions where subject content is discussed and explored. Mixed attendance students will have access to online Blackboard Collaborate sessions. NS1881 learning and teaching strategies are student-centred. Students are encouraged to actively engage in learning processes and take responsibility for their learning. Emphasis is placed on skills required to effectively use and integrate technology into the learning environment. In NS1881 you will engage in a variety of learning experiences using different formats including: •

directed learning via lectures, specific readings within textbooks, journals and online sources, LearnJCU simulated activities, preparatory and reflective activities;

•

demonstrations of clinical skills and opportunities to develop and consolidate these skills within workshop sessions, and self-directed learning (SDL) in the nursing laboratory; and

•

discussion with workshop facilitators and peers.
