This unit expands upon the underpinning theoretical knowledge gained within the previous years of study and provides the opportunity to investigate key areas of medical and surgical nursing, anaesthesia and analgesia in more depth. They will reflect upon the clinical nursing they have carried out within their placements and formulate care plan strategies based upon clinical practice and theory taught within the unit.
Aims:
At the end of this teaching unit, the student should be able to :
Online synchronous and asynchronous teaching and learning
Small group working
Use of Virtual learning environment (Blackboard)
Students must pass the following assessments:
2 hour written examination (80% weighting)
Research Skills group DSE task (20% weighting)
All units must be passed in order to pass this year of study. There will be an opportunity to resit a written examination during the resit period.In addition there will be an opportunity provided to resit the DSE Research Skills task.
The resit opportunity for the VN Programmes is routinely scheduled during the University resit window (Late August / early September). Exceptionally, the final year resit period shall be scheduled to dovetail with the Veterinary Science Programme's resit opportunity every July.
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. VETS30036).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
