Course summary

Overview

Combining Health Assessment with specific modules in Critical Care, this course aims to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of clinical assessment skills and their application to critical care nursing.

Designed for nurses currently working in, or who aspire to work in critical care settings, the Critical Care Nursing course provides an opportunity for you to enhance your clinical skills in this specialist field of practice. The aim of the course is to enable you to develop your knowledge and skills of clinical decision-making in health assessment, treatments and therapies within the critical care environment, in order to enable you to independently lead and manage specialist care provision alongside other health care professionals. The course incorporates the National Competency Framework Step 3 Competencies for Critical Care Nurses as a core part of the assessment process to ensure that it is in aligned to National Standards for Critical Care Nurse Education.

As you will be working as a nurse, the course has been designed to be delivered over three semesters to allow you to attend on a part-time basis in order to balance the requirements of work and study.

In addition to university-based knowledge acquisition and development, you will also have the opportunity to undertake placements in critical care settings to embed and apply your learning in relevant contexts.

Knowledge and skills are attained by varied approaches to teaching and learning to give you a theoretical understanding and the opportunity to practice skills of clinical assessment and dealing with emergency situations.

Career prospects

Completion of the course may allow you to apply for senior positions within the critical care.
