Learning outcomes

  1. The novice professional knows, names and works safely according to professional standards, guidelines and protocols (applicable laws and regulations) regarding reserved treatments and is able to justify deviating from these, for the provision of integral care.
  2. Novice professionals take into account the wishes and needs of the care recipient and their relatives regarding reserved procedures and are able to deviate from these if the wishes of the care recipient or their own professional or moral considerations so dictate.
  3. The novice professional collects and analyses process-related data, such as the purpose, (contra)indications, complications, anatomy, physiology, psychology, pathology and pharmacology surrounding the performance of reserved procedures.
Indicators level 1:
The novice professional:
  • Performs reserved actions (injecting, nasogastric tube insertion, catheterisation, peripheral infusion insertion and venipuncture) with due regard to their own competence and ability and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
  • During the performance of reserved procedures, he will follow standards, guidelines and protocols that are part of his functional responsibility, and will be able to deviate from these responsibly if the wishes of the care recipients or his own professional or moral considerations give reason to do so.
  • Takes into account the wishes and needs of the care recipient during the performance of reserved procedures after consulting the (simulated) care recipient and their relatives about the required care
  • Knows underlying basic principles from anatomy, physiology, psychology, pathology and pharmacology, among others, regarding the performance of reserved procedures
  • Identifies the purpose, (contra)indications and complications of the reserved procedures performed
  • Can give feedback to fellow students on their actions and professional behaviour when performing reserved actions
  • Demonstrates awareness of the consequences of his/her own actions during the performance of reserved procedures in relation to the creation of unsafe situations
  • During the performance of reserved procedures, works according to the applicable laws and regulations, such as safety policy and infection prevention, privacy, ergonomics, economy and ecology.
CanMeds role: healthcare provider, reflective EBP professional, organiser

The learning outcomes contribute to the areas of expertise "Justifying care" and "Working on health".

Core concepts from BN2020 programme profile
  • Clinical reasoning: the continuous process-based collection and analysis of data aimed at identifying care recipients' questions and problems and choosing appropriate care outcomes and interventions accordingly.
  • Implementing care: providing integral care by independently performing all common (including reserved and high-risk) nursing actions in low-complex care situations in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and from a holistic perspective.
  • Expertise development: demonstrating active and critical behaviour to bring and maintain nursing expertise of self and others, and actively contributing to the search, development and sharing of new (forms of) knowledge.
  • Promoting safety: to contribute continuously and methodically to promoting and ensuring the safety of care recipients and their relatives and staff members.
Competency mastery level (CBN, 2022)
The first level involves a medium-complex context in which the focus is on applying knowledge and skills methodically using guidelines and protocols in varying but similar situations. The nature of the task is structured where familiar methods are applied. There is a build-up in self-direction leading to partly directed, partly undirected supervision. With guidance during preparation and execution focusing on learning (strategic) planning, self-efficacy, motivation and reflection. Reflection on actions focuses on knowing and understanding, with a focus on innovation.

Content

As a nurse, you will receive broad training so that you can work in a variety of fields, where you will play an important role in the integrated care of the care recipient and their relatives. Whatever setting you will be working in, nursing actions (including reserved and high-risk actions) are part of your job.
During this module, the emphasis is on learning and practising various nursing skills from a holistic, reflective, care recipient-oriented basic attitude with a theoretical foundation. You learn to work according to and justify deviations from protocols, guidelines and standards. In a mid-complex simulated setting, you learn, together with fellow students, to perform skills, give and receive feedback and communicate with the care recipients from different case histories. You make use of different working methods such as E-learning, instructional lessons and scenario training.

Assessment
Within this module, you work on achieving the learning outcomes by providing various pieces of evidence at an individual level. This is how you demonstrate your mastery of the learning outcomes. During the skills lab learning, you will receive feedback on the performed nursing skills from both the instructor and your fellow students at various moments. These moments include practising with fellow students, scenario training and aptitude tests. By obtaining feedback, you will gain insight into your own learning process and know what steps you still need to take to eventually achieve the learning outcomes. At the end of the module, you will receive a final assessment based on the evidence you provide that shows your development.
