Title Win-win-win: Collaboration advances critical care practice Type Journal Article
Year 2002 Publication Contemporary Nurse Abbreviated Journal
Volume 13 Issue (up) 2/3 Pages 223-228
Keywords Nursing specialties; Rural nursing; Nursing; Education; Curriculum
Abstract This paper provides an overview of the structure and processes of an eighteen month, distance education course focused on developing advanced practice in the context of critical care nursing. Within the framework of a Master of Health Science, the postgraduate certificate (critical care nursing) was developed as a collaboration between Auckland University of Technology and two regional health providers. Students enrol in science and knowledge papers concurrently then, in the second half of the course, are supported within their practice environment to acquire advanced clinical skills and to analyse, critique and develop practice within their specialty. This course is set against a background of increasing interest in education post registration. The acquisition of highly developed clinical capabilities requires a combination of nursing experience and education. This requires collaboration between clinicians and nurse educators, and approaches to address accessibility of relevant educational opportunities for nurses outside the country's main centres.
