The programme has a comprehensive profile where academic content, pedagogical activities and practical studies are interconnected. The connection between the learning outcome descriptions, learning activities and forms of assessment are particularly emphasised. Work and teaching methods and the fields of study covered in the programme are organised in a way that promotes both theoretical understanding and practical action competence. The courses build on each other to ensure progress with increasing requirements for knowledge and understanding of the profession. Through critical reflection, ethical competence and professional judgement are gradually developed.

For all nursing programmes, four recurring topics are defined: ethics, patient safety, communication and cooperation and management. The topics are integrated into different courses and described with separate learning outcomes to ensure coherency, connection and progression between courses and academic years. Diversity and big-city health are also emphasised as key perspectives in all three years of the programme.

Each academic year comprises 60 credits, and the expected workload is normally 40 hours per week. This applies both for theoretical courses and during practical training. All the courses conclude with a final assessment.

Learning in groups is particularly emphasised in the study programme. The most important elements to ensure good group processes are safety, well-being and a sense of belonging. We therefore want all students to feel a sense of belonging to their class throughout the programme. This class will be divided into smaller groups that comprise study groups.

First year of the programme

During the first year, students will receive a basic introduction to nursing as a discipline, profession and science. Natural science courses make up an important part of the first year of study. This will provide a good basis for studying nursing observation and assessment.

Diversity and the lifetime perspective are also recurring topics. The students will receive in-depth knowledge of the human being’s fundamental needs and resources.

The academic year starts with an introductory period where the students get to know their rights and duties. Study groups are established as a work method and expectations of the students' own and other people’s efforts are clarified. Through practical training in the spring semester, the students gain experience of how needs and resources change as a result of ageing and disease. The year concludes with a theoretical introduction to different diseases, which provides a good basis for the second academic year.

Second year of the programme

The second year of the programme focuses particularly on nursing of people with acute and critical diseases of different ages. Students will also meet patients with progressive and chronic diseases. In addition to theory, students take two long practical training periods where they study nursing of patients and next-of-kin in real-life patient situations. In the spring semester, students will also gain insight into health and social perspectives, management and organisation, in addition to health promoting and preventive health work. Several courses are compulsory for students from different study programmes in the spring semester. These are known as common courses.

The spring semester is specially adapted for internationalisation at home, as some of the courses are taught in English. In this semester, we also welcome inbound exchange students.

Elective courses are carried out in the fourth semester. The elective courses are intended to help the students to acquire special expertise through in-depth study of a specific topic. Students choose one elective course. Some elective courses have a limited number of places. If a course has few registrations, the programme management will consider cancelling the course. In this case, you will be offered to participate in another course. More information about elective courses is provided in the third semester.

Overview of elective courses,

SYK2800 (A and B) Parent-child Relationships and Adolescent Health

SYK2810 (A and B) Prevention and Treatment of Malnutrition

SYK2820 (A and B) Simulation Methods

SYK2830 (A and B) Research in Nursing

SYK2840 (A and B) Supervision in Nursing

At the end of the academic year, students carry out a digital coursework requirement about complex health challenges. This provides the theoretical basis for the third year.

Third year of the programme

In the third year of the programme, the students will study nursing of people with complex health challenges. A significant part of the programme takes place in the practical training field, mainly in different arenas of the municipal health service. The practical training field consists of patients and next-of-kin with different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. The courses look at mental health issues and complex health conditions. Management, professional development and interdisciplinary and intersectoral cooperation are key aspects. The bachelor’s thesis is an academic in-depth assignment to be written in the last semester.

Courses and teaching activities taught jointly with other programmes at OsloMet

The Bachelor’s Programme in Nursing includes the following courses and teaching activities that also form part of other programmes at the university:

• SYKK/SYKP1060 Introduction to Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) in Health Care, 5 credits
• SYKP1070 Technology and Society, 5 credits
• INTERACT (Interprofessional Interaction with Children and Youth)
• The subject of public health and health management is integrated into the course SYKK/SYKP PRA45 Public Health, 10 credits

In the subject of public health and health management and the course SYKK/SYKP1060 Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) in Health Care (5 credits), different academic environments at the Faculty of Health Sciences join forces to provide the students with a common competence platform in line with national guidelines. In the subject of public health and health management, focus is on the health services’ organisation, health legislation and administration, and preventive and health promoting work. In SYKK/SYKP1060, students learn about the rationale for evidence-based practice, with focus on critical thinking and shared decision-making. For more details, see the individual course descriptions.

The course SYKP1070 Technology and Society is a part of most degrees at OsloMet. The course provides a fundamental understanding of the digital world and how technology affects people’s lives and the way in which they work, and will help the students to enter working life with a fundamental understanding of technology. The Department of Computer Science at OsloMet has the responsibility for the practical aspects of the course provision. For a more detailed description, see the course description.

INTERACT (Interprofessional Interaction with Children and Youths) is an interdisciplinary teaching activity at OsloMet, where students from both the health and social care subjects and the teacher/kindergarten teacher education programmes meet in interdisciplinary groups. The aim is to ensure that the students acquire the skills needed to meet society’s demands for a better coordination of services that affect children and young people. The teaching activity builds on pedagogical principles of interactivity and spiral learning, with extensive use of digital learning and assessment tools to improve the learning outcomes.

The teaching (INTER1100, INTER1200 and INTER1300) is carried out in the first teaching week each spring semester for students in the first, second and third study year, respectively, and is integrated as a compulsory coursework requirement in the existing courses in the programme description in first and second year. In the third year. In the third year of study, the teaching program is registered as a separate requirement. In the Bachelor’s Programme in Nursing, INTERACT is included in the following courses:

SYKK/SYKPPRA10 Fundations of Nursing,

SYKK/SYKPPRA45 Public Health

Third year - separate requirement.

Requirements for participation in interdisciplinary teaching programmes

There is a requirement for participation in the interprofessional teaching programme INTERACT (INTER1100, INTER1200, and INTER1300) and Student BEST, which must be approved to be awarded a diploma.

See https://www.oslomet.no/forskning/forskningsprosjekter/interactfor a more detailed description of INTERACT.

Eksamensinnhold: Læringsutbyttene

Eksamensform: Individuell skriftlig eksamen under tilsyn, 4 timer

OsloMet focuses on having a good and developing learning environment that students can thrive in. The work and teaching methods have been developed on the basis of a socio-cultural view of learning, where the overriding principle is to make use of your own thoughts, knowledge and experience. The student's own efforts, individually, or together with others, are decisive for good learning outcomes. Students are expected to prepare ahead of organised teaching activities. Varied work methods are used both in theoretical subjects and in practical training and these can be carried out physically on campuses or on digital platforms. In some contexts, teaching activities only take place on one campus, and students must expect to travel to the relevant location.

The programme also prepares students for the labour market’s requirement of lifelong learning. Students are therefore expected to take ownership of their own learning process throughout the study programme, and will learn to both ‘become a nurse’ and ‘learn how to learn’. Students are also expected to contribute to creating a good learning environment for their fellow students through active participation in the different teaching activities.

Self-study and student cooperation

The attainment of the learning outcomes requires a high degree of self-study. Self-study entails both individual work and cooperation with fellow students, and it entails awareness of how you best learn. Students are recommended to take the initiative to form study groups.

Group work

Group work means working with other students. In the groups, students will discuss each other’s contributions and share knowledge and perspectives. They will gain experience of cooperation and of assessing, developing and disseminating relevant literature. The students will give and receive feedback from others.

Digital learning resources

Digital learning resources are for instance OsloMetX https://www.oslomet.no/ub/oslometxbokskapet@oslomet.no, or video clips, podcasts, games, academic texts, articles and interactive assignments used as part of the learning methods. Digital co-writing tools are used in some courses for the purpose of sharing knowledge and producing texts together. Digital self-corrected tests (quizzes) provide an opportunity for the students to practice and test their knowledge of the course content. Students receive an immediate response, which can serve as a basis for their continued learning.

Simulation and skills training (SF-unit)

Simulation and skills training gives the students the opportunity to learn everything from simple practical skills to making assessments in complex patient situations. Simulation and skills training will be a recurring part of the study programme and often taken place in simulation and skills training units (SF-unit) on campus. Reflection before, during and after actions will be emphasised. Some simulations may be filmed. Videos will always be deleted directly after the teaching session unless consent has been given to keep the videos.

Skills training in the programme will not be divided by gender.

Lectures

Lectures are used either to gain an overview of the course’s content or to delve into a specific topic. Lectures are used particularly when introducing new subject matter.

The flipped classroom

The flipped classroom is when the roles of lecturer and students are reversed, and students work with digital learning resources before attending class. Students work on problem-solving activities during teaching sessions, often in the form of group work or seminars.

Seminar/workshop

Students practice formulating an argument, expressing own opinions and reflecting on own attitudes and actions, in addition to presenting and discussing subject matter and assessing other people’s academic presentations.

Project work

Students study a topic relevant to the programme in depth, and develop skills in the systematic use of methods, including theoretical basis, data collection, analysis, discussion, written formulation and verbal communication.

Interprofessional cooperative learning (TPS)

Interprofessional cooperative learning comprises all ways of working where students participate in

teaching sessions with students from other programmes, or carry out educational activities in a practical training establishment that entail cooperation with professionals from other fields. Interprofessional cooperative learning can be arranged at the university, in the practical training establishment and through digital cooperation (webinars) with students in other countries.

Student BEST – Better and systematic team training

Student BEST is an educational activity under a cooperation between the nursing-, radiography-, biomedical laboratory sciences and paramedic science programme, specialisation in anaesthesia (master programme) at OsloMet and the medicine programme at the University of Oslo. The learning programme builds on simulation in teams and is used as a training method in the admission and stabilising of trauma patients. The main focus is communication and cooperation in interprofessional groups. The teaching takes place at the SF-units at OsloMet.

Det forventes at studenten møter godt forberedt til hver praksisperiode. Som forberedelse før hver praksisperiode arrangeres det undervisning på universitetet eller digitalt. Tema for forberedende teoriuker legge vekt på:

• Kommunikasjon i praksis, pasient, pårørende og medarbeidere
• Opplæring og veiledning på SF-enheten ved universitetet
• Hvordan læringsutbyttene i de kliniske studiene skal konkretiseres i praksisperioden

VeiledningPraksisstudiene er veiledet. Dette innebærer at kontaktlærer fra universitetet veileder studentene både individuelt og i gruppe gjennom praksis, i samarbeid med praksisveileder fra praksisfeltet. Praksisveileder veiledere studentene på praksisstedet.

Skriftlige oppgaver I hver praksisperiode levere studentene skriftlige oppgaver til kontaktlærer som danner utgangspunkt for veiledning. Studenten får skriftlig eller muntlig tilbakemelding. Oppgavene er en integrert del av de kliniske studiene og inngår i vurderingen av studentens samlede kunnskap/kompetanse.

TurnusTilstedeværelse i de praksisemnene utgjør gjennomsnittlig 30 timer pr. uke. Avhengig av praksissted og praksisperiode skal studenten gå vakter både dag, kveld, natt og helg i løpet av praksisperioden, og hun/han skal i hovedsak følge praksisveilederens turnus der hvor det er mulig. Turnusplanen fungerer som en kontrakt og kan ikke endres uten godkjenning av kontaktlærer og praksisveileder.

Obligatorisk tilstedeværelse og fravær i praksis

Praksisstudiene foregår i Oslo og i store deler av østlandsområdet, slik at reisevei må påregnes. Praksisstudier er både praksisforberedende undervisning, aktiviteter underveis og veiledet praksis som foregår i praksisperioden. Hver uke er planlagt med en forventet studieinnsats på 40 timer. Obligatorisk tilstedeværelse i veiledet praksisperiode utgjør gjennomsnittlig 30 timer per uke og det stilles krav om 90 % tilstedeværelse i denne perioden. Det er studentens ansvar å passe på at man ikke får for mye fravær i praksisemnene, rammene er:

• Mindre enn 10 % fravær: Studenten kan fullføre praksisemnet på vanlig måte.
• 10-20 % fravær: Studenten kan, hvis mulig for praksisstedet, ta igjen praksis man mangler. Dette må avtales med praksisveilederen og kontaktlærer ved universitetet.
• Mer enn 20 % fravær: Studenten må ta hele praksisemnet på nytt.

Sykdom under praksisperioderDersom studenten blir syk og får over 20 % fravær i et praksisemne, må det leveres legeerklæring for alle fraværsdager over 10 %. Da blir fraværet regnet som dokumentert fravær og praksisemnet må tas på nytt i sin helhet. Dette medfører forsinkelser i utdanningen.

Kriterier praksisstudier

Ett eller flere av disse kriteriene ligger til grunn for karakteren Ikke bestått i praksisstudier i kompletterende utdanning for sykepleiere ved OsloMet:

Studenten:

• har ikke overholdt tilstedeværelseskravet
• har uteblitt fra praksis uten gyldig grunn og uten å gi beskjed
• har ikke oppnådd nødvendig læringsutbytte for praksisperioden
• har ikke fullført obligatoriske krav eller levert inn skriftlige oppgaver som fastsatt i vurderingsskjema for praksisperioden
• har satt pasientens liv og helse i fare ved å gå ut over grensene for egen kompetanse
• har ikke etterspurt veiledning, eller tatt til følge eller vist tilstrekkelig vilje og evne til å tilegne seg manglende kunnskap eller kompetanse
• viser manglende selvinnsikt
• viser manglende språk- og/eller kommunikasjonsferdigheter

The increasing globalisation of the labour market makes international experience and knowledge of languages and cultures more and more relevant for the profession. Internationalisation also provides insight into globalisation in general and contributes to improving the quality of the programme and strengthening the academic environment. Knowledge of international conditions is also important for developing knowledge in the nursing discipline.

Exchanges

Students at OsloMet are encouraged to take parts of the programme at an institution abroad. The programme has many partners abroad that might be relevant for students wanting to go on an exchange. Students can take three to six months of the programme in the fourth, fifth or sixth semester abroad. The students can travel on exchange a maximum of 2 times during the study programme. The 4th semester is specially arranged for exchange.

In the 4th semester, you can travel abroad for a whole semester or parts of the semester to follow practice or theory courses at one of our partner universities. You can also travel for a 3-month public health internship to one of our internship partners. You then follow the elective SYK2850 Public Health in a Global Perspective, where you are guided both by a supervisor from OsloMet and from the institution where you have your internship. In addition to being your elective in the 4th semester, the course replaces SYKK/SYKPRA45.

In the 5th semester you will find opportunities for exchange in practice for a whole semester, while in the 6th semester it is mainly possible to exchange for a 3-month practice.

Criteria for student exchanges and information about stays abroad, can be found here: https://student.oslomet.no/utveksling-hv

Internationalisation at home

The study programme boasts a multicultural student environment and focuses on cultural diversity and global issues. This approach contributes to greater understanding and improves the ability to work in a professional capacity in a diverse society. The English literature in the syllabus provides students with experience in reading academic literature and international research. An understanding of English academic literature is important to be able to actively participate in the international nursing community.

Academic staff affiliated to the study programme are part of international networks and research cooperation. Cooperation with colleagues from other countries contributes to internationalisation, for instance by inviting guest researchers and lecturers to OsloMet. This mainly takes place in the fourth semester, which consists of English-speaking courses. These courses are taken alongside inbound exchange students at OsloMet.

An overview of the courses available in the fourth semester:

• SYKK/SYKPRA45 Public Health, 10 credits
• SYK28xxA and B, Elective courses, 5 credits ((not SYK2840 (A and B) Supervision in Nursing))
• SYKK/SYKP1060 Evidence-Based Practice, 5 credits
• SYKK/SYKP1070 Technology and Society, 5 credits
