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

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
