Course history

Introduction

The students will undergo practical training at intensive care units where ventilator treatment is performed, medical intensive care units, anaesthesia departments and/or accident and emergency departments. The students will independently attend to the functions and areas of responsibility of an intensive care nurse and have action competence in intensive care nursing. The students are expected to demonstrate clear progress, take responsibility and, to an increasing extent, demonstrate the ability to make independent assessments in intensive care nursing practice.

Required preliminary courses

Learning outcomes

Studenten skal gjennomføre praksisstudier ved intensivavdelinger som tilbyr respiratorbehandling, overvåkningsavdelinger, anestesiavdelinger og/eller akuttmottak.

Det forventes at studenten viser klar faglig fremgang, tar ansvar og i økende grad viser evne til å gjøre selvstendige vurderinger i utøvelsen av intensivsykepleie.
