Practical training: in the municipal health service (seven weeks), primarily nursing homes supervised by a practical training supervisor and contact teacher, as well as simulation and skills training. Lectures and seminars with a contact teacher where current topics are explained based on the learning outcomes.

Combined assessment.

Part 1 Assessment of practical training.

The assessment takes its point of departure in given criteria based on learning outcomes for the course, criteria for failing the practical training, criteria for suitability assessment and compulsory activities carried throughout the practical training. Students’ practical training can only be assessed if their attendance is sufficiently high (90%). For more information, see the general part of the programme description about the assessment of practical training.

If the student has failed the practical training, the whole practical training course must be retaken. This includes associated requirements.

Part 2 Supervised individual written exam.

Practical test (modified OSCE test, objective structured clinical examination) which includes an MC test (multiple choice), related to basic skills in nursing and the learning outcomes in the course. Carried out station based.

Part 1 and part 2 can be taken independently of each other. The student must have obtained a pass grade on both parts in order to pass the course as a whole and earn the credits. Part 1 and part 2 appear on the diploma.

None.

Part 1 Pass-fail.

Part 2 Pass-fail.
