Study Guide

Objective

The student learns to simulate and to use internal entrepreneurship to maintain and develop skills in nursing. The student understands the meaning of simulations while maintaining patient safety and practicing non-technical skills in nursing. While practicing in a nursing team, the student encounters multicultural peer students and other people with respect and equality and gives and takes feedback. The student learns to evaluate his/ her own nursing skills and communication skills and methods. The student evaluates and develops the work, assumes responsibility for his/her actions and becomes aware of the interaction and co-operation skills and development needs of him/ herself.
The student practices simulated patient situations also in Finnish and prepares for clinical training.
