The thesis provides students with the opportunity to be involved in research which explores evidence that substantiates their practice. The nurse completes a minimum of 528 hours working clinically in the critical care area for the duration of the programme.
Teaching and Learning
Problem-based learning is the educational method used and it has the following characteristics:
- Real-life situations constitute the basis for working through problems and are a foundation for learning.
- Self-directed learning, the student’s own studies, activities, and responsibility for his/her own learning.
- Group work. During his/her education the student should develop self-knowledge, which involves understanding and being able to develop knowledge, skills and attitudes in interplay with others.
- Working in a tutorial group (consisting of 6-7 students and a faculty tutor) is the fundamental method of studying in problem-based learning. Other methods include lectures, seminars, resource opportunities, field studies and other types of skill practice.
