NURSING 3007 - Nursing in an International Context

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2024

Nursing in an international context adds a global perspective to the Bachelor of Nursing program. A range of social and health considerations such as poverty, emerging and resistant diseases, refugee health and access to fundamental provisions such as water and food are considered. The global response to health care by the WHO and other NGOs is also examined. The role of the nurse in the international health care community is explored and opportunities for reflection and debate about future health care goals are given. There is weekly optional face to face sessions offered throughout the course which relate to working abroad and careers development.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

    Although this is an online course, the eSELT from 2023 showed that students really enjoyed the face to face optional tutorials, but would have preferrred then on a different day which matched other classes and for 2024 these are now on a Thursday at 12pm instead of Tuesday 9am. 

    Students felt that the two assessments were too similar and these have been amended to relfect different teaching aspects within the course. Students wished content was assessed via a quiz later in the semester than earlier in the course and so this has been amended from the middle of the course, to the end of the course. 

    Welcome to your future" Canvas Course allowed students to ask questions and get updated job availabilities and tips and was positively reviewed again as in previous years.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
