Course Synopsis:

The cognitive and practical skills learned from MID2018 Clinical Science II and
MID2019 Medical Surgical Nursing II will be applied in this course. Students will be attached to
various medical and surgical wards and settings that offer learning opportunity to nurse
patients with disorders of gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurology, renal,
autoimmune, haematology, integumentary and immune system.
Students will learn to collaborate with other healthcare professionals in delivering a
multidisciplinary patient care approach. Ward rounds, clinical discussion and bedside teaching
will be conducted to promote application of theory to practice. Reflective nursing is also
practiced in developing student’s critical thinking skills, and to encourage student’s active
engagement in learning processes.
In addition to medical nursing procedures, students will continue to practice fundamental and
pharmacological nursing procedures learned in Year 1. Record documentation and application
of standard and transmission-based precautions will also be reinforced. The skill-lab practice
sessions will be incorporated to enhance the students’ practical skills
