The aim of this module is to help you to develop as an accountable professional nurse. The module will include theoretical study, practice learning, and simulation of clinical nursing skills and procedures aligned to the Nursing and Midwifery Council's standards for registered nurses. This module spans all three trimesters within the first year of the MSc Nursing (Pre-registration) programme. Each trimester you will undertake one practice learning experience (PLE) which will equate to 3 days per week in practice. To prepare you for your PLE, you will undertake regular periods of theoretical and practical simulated skills learning across all three trimesters. Practice learning will be integrated with self-directed online theoretical learning for which you are given two study days per week. This is complemented by online group tutorials and critical reflection sessions. At the end of each trimester Touch Point weeks will enable further interaction with your peers and may include sessions delivered by clinical and academic specialists, researchers, interprofessional colleagues, patients and carers. Touch Points may include a range of activities including lectures, workshops, facilitated reflection, cross institutional activities with other students and career development activities. Through engagement with and critical analysis of both key and wider literature, you will build a personalised, field specific and evidence-informed understanding of the module learning outcomes; these will then be critically examined and reflected upon in your formative and summative assessments.
