Task 1: A partly referenced Nursing council competency self-assessment
•
Using the summative competency template provided, choose 3 competency indicators that you believe intersect with the course content of 168744.
•
Write a robust paragraph (approx. 200-250 words) under each of your 3 selections about how the course content has provided you with knowledge, understanding, strategies that will help you navigate this competency in student nurse practice.
•
Use references from the course content and reading and clinical placement contexts (a policy or procedure) to provide evidence and scholarly support to your claims about the chosen indicators.
Task 2: Critique of course content for student nursing practice
•
Write 500 words that critically analyse the value of the 168744 professional issues course content for yourself and your student nurse practice. To use an analogy to help explain this idea – imagine you are a tapestry, and you are now weaving in new threads gathered from the course content. What do these new threads add?
