4 Professional Experience Requirements of the Program It is expected that most Nurse Practitioner (NP) candidates will continue working in their specialty clinical area while undertaking their studies, in order to meet the professional experience requirements of the program. NP candidates enrolled in NURS7001, NURS7002, NURS7003, NURS7004 and NURS7007 are required to undertake professional experience (see Table 1) in their usual speciality area in order to have opportunity to further develop their skills and professional practice as an NP with the guidance of their clinical support team and mentors. Table1. Hours of professional experience for NP candidates Course Name h /week Total/course NURS7001 Advanced Nursing Practice NURS7002 Advanced Clinical Practice NURS7003 Advanced Nursing Practice NURS7004 Advanced Clinical Practice NURS7007 NP development of Care Total 572 Most candidates will be combining part-time study with work and the clinical requirements of the courses in which they are enrolled. Because of their previous work history, candidates will have varying levels of expertise in different aspects of the program. This means that some modules in a course may be relatively easy and others less so if the material differs from their usual practice. The clinical support team along with the academic mentor should be ready to assist, so students are therefore encouraged to not delay the identification of any difficulties with content, clinical application or time management. If at any time during enrolment in this program, a candidate has difficulty in meeting the clinical requirements of the course, it is their responsibility to raise this as soon as practical with their academic mentor so that a resolution to any issues can take place with the clinical facility. The focus of the specified professional experience hours is on the candidate working into the role under the supervision and guidance of their mentor and clinical support Page 2 of 4
5 team. Candidates will be experienced registered nurses so do have the capacity to work unsupervised in their normal role, however the intent of the specified clinical hours is on developing those advanced skills that allow the candidate to meet the outcomes of the program. This may be achieved by working with the mentor or member of the clinical support team to observe, assist with, practice with supervision, or independently undertake particular clinical skills that meet the demands of the course. It is expected that during this time, the clinical support team and mentor provide teaching support in the way of demonstration, discussion, questioning, guidance, advice and feedback to the candidate. The candidate is also requested to reflect on their practice in discussion with their CST. At an early stage of the program the student s will have to identify the learning needs they require to meet the National Competency Standards for the Nurse Practitioner. Students will use an electronic portfolio Nurse Practitioner Clinical Competency Portfolio to support this process. The portfolio is built around the three Nurse Practitioner Competency Standards: Dynamic Practice, Professional Efficacy and Clinical Leadership. Each standard has a number of competencies which are measured by performance indicators. The students, in collaboration with their CST, must identify how each performance indicator can be applied to their clinical context. Once this is done, the next step is to evaluate if the candidate has achieved each competency. Where the competency has been achieved, evidence should be provided. Where competencies have not been achieved, learning strategies for reaching them should be identified. As students achieve each competency, evidence should be provided and students should write a reflection on the process and the outcome. Clinical Placement Site Suitability Prior to the commencement of the program, the Master of Nurse Practitioner Studies Program Director will contact the Executive Director of Nursing to undertake a site capability assessment. The purpose of this assessment is to ensure that the clinical requirements of the program will be able to be met by the student at their clinical placement location. A copy of the Site Capability Assessment that will be undertaken can be found on the following page. Page 3 of 4

12 Introduction: Welcome to the Master of Nurse Practitioner Studies program (MNPractSt) within the School of Nursing and Midwifery at the University of Queensland. Your clinical area is providing support for a Nurse Practitioner candidate who is enrolled in the MNPractSt program leading to eligibility for endorsement as a Nurse Practitioner (NP) by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA). The NMBA is one of the National Boards under the Australian Health Practitioners Regulatory Agency (AHPRA). The School would like to thank Clinical Mentors and each member of the Clinical Support Team (CST) for this support. The CST should at a minimum cover nursing, medicine and pharmacology. Suitable members of the CST are nurse practitioner, medical practitioner and pharmacists. Allied health professions can be included if there is an identified need for it e.g. physiotherapist, radiologist etc. The clinical mentor is either a nurse practitioner, with at least one-year full time experience as a nurse practitioner, or a medical practitioner with a specialisation in a relevant clinical area i.e. cardiologist or GP. All CST members and clinical mentors should be employed at a minimum of.5 Full Time Equivalent (FTE). Casual staff are not eligible to be clinical mentors or clinical support team members. The role of the clinical support team and mentors is pivotal in the development of the nurse practitioner model of care. The nurse practitioner candidate will be working closely with their team to expand their clinical skills, decision-making, critical thinking, diagnostic reasoning, patient management, and professional practice. At an early stage in the program students are encouraged using their clinical competency e- portfolio to identify what the different performance indicators in the National Competency Standards for the Nurse Practitioner ( Guidelines.aspx) means in their clinical context. Additionally as a students studying at masters level, they will have to identify their own learning needs and suggest suitable learning strategies to achieve the competencies in the performance indicator. This activity should be done in collaboration with their CST and the result will be the students individual learning contract. 1
13 Nurse practitioners work in close collaboration with other health professionals; hence it is important that this collaboration with a multi-disciplinary clinical support team is present throughout their clinical practice as a nurse practitioner candidate for the journey to reach competency as a junior and/or novice NP. The purpose of this guide is to provide the clinical support team and clinical mentors with sufficient information about the roles of both the University and the clinical support team and mentors, to facilitate the collaboration that will aid the success of your NP candidate. Your candidate has been asked to provide us with your contact details, so we will be contacting you on a regular basis. Wheree possible or needed we will schedule a visit. Please contact the School of Nursing and Midwifery via the details provided below, if we can be of any assistance throughout this and the following semesters during the program. Thank you once again for your support of your NP candidate and we look forward to a successful collaboration.

14 Role of the Clinical Support Team and Mentor: Professional Experience Requirements of the Program: It is expected that most NP candidates will continue working in their specialty clinical area while undertaking their studies, in order to meet the professional experience requirements of the program. These hours will provide the student opportunity to further develop their skills and professional practice and grow into the role of a NP with the guidance of their clinical support team and mentors. NP candidates enrolled in NURS7001, NURS7002, NURS7003, NURS7004 and NURS7007 are required to undertake professional experience (see Table 1) under direct and indirect supervision in their usual speciality clinical area. Table1. Hours of Professional Experience for NP candidates Course Name h /week Total/course NURS7001 Advanced Nursing Practice NURS7002 Advanced Clinical Practice NURS7003 Advanced Nursing Practice NURS7004 Advanced Clinical Practice NURS7007 NP development of Care Total 572 Most candidates will be combining part-time study with work and the clinical requirements of the courses in which they are enrolled. Because of their previous work history, candidates will have varying levels of expertise in different aspects of the program. This means that some modules may be relatively easy and others less so if the material differs from their usual practice. The clinical support team along with the academic mentor should be ready to assist, students and are therefore encouraged to not delay the identification of any difficulties with content, clinical application or time management.

The focus of the specified professional experience hours is on the candidate working into the role under the supervision and guidance of their mentor and clinical support team. Candidates will be experienced registered nurses so do have the capacity to work 3
15 unsupervised in their normal role, however the intent of the specified clinical hours is on developing those advanced and expanded skills that allow the candidate to meet the outcomes of the program. This may be achieved by working with the mentor or member of the clinical support team to observe, assist with, practice with supervision, or independently undertake particular clinical skills that meet the demands of the course. It is expected that during this time, the clinical support team and mentor provide teaching support in the way of demonstration, discussion, questioning, guidance, advice and feedback to the candidate. The candidate is also requested to reflect on their practice in discussion with their CST. At an early stage of the program the student s will have to identify the learning needs they require to meet the National Competency Standards for the Nurse Practitioner. Students will use an electronic portfolio Nurse Practitioner Clinical Competency Portfolio to support this process. The portfolio is built around the three Nurse Practitioner Competency Standards: Dynamic Practice, Professional Efficacy and Clinical Leadership. Each standard has a number of competencies which are measured by performance indicators. The students, in collaboration with their CST, must identify how each performance indicator can be applied to their clinical context. Once this is done, the next step is to evaluate if the candidate has achieved each competency. Where the competency has been achieved, evidence should be provided. Where competencies have not been achieved, learning strategies for reaching them should be identified. As students achieve each competency, evidence should be provided and students should write a reflection on the process and the outcome. 4
16 Role of the Clinical Mentor: The Clinical Mentor is an experienced clinician, committed to the education of nurse practitioners that undertakes to support and guide the NP candidate in their clinical environment. The mentor takes a leading role of the NP candidate s clinical support team. The Clinical Mentor, in conjunction with the NP candidate s Academic Mentor, will be responsible for the supervision of the Nurse Practitioner candidate but does not have to work for the total specified clinical (professional experience hours that the Nurse Practitioner candidate is required to undertake. The responsibilities of the Mentor are to: provide clinical advice as it applies to the candidate s context of practice; assist the candidate with the development of his/her personal clinical goals and competency for practice; provide an assessment to the university of the candidate s ability and capability to demonstrate competence in his/her specialist practice; participate in the assessment of the candidate as required by the specific course/s. 5
17 Role of the Clinical Support Team: The CST takes a multi-disciplinary approach and may consist of physicians, surgeons, medical officers, general practitioners, qualified nurse practitioners or other expert health professionals who can give timely and appropriate advice and guidance to the candidate in case management, patient assessment, diagnostic procedures including radiology, pharmacological management of patients and ongoing care of patients and their families. Members of the CST, with the mentor, assist the NP candidate in the following ways: Being accessible to the candidate Conducting regular case reviews with the NP candidate: Discussion and assessment of clinical decisions Recommendations for future patient care Identification of learning needs and resources Supporting the candidate to develop the NP role in their clinical environment Encouraging a reflective approach as the candidate works into the role of NP Working with the NP candidate to identify learning needs Clinical teaching Patient management in collaboration with the NP candidate Providing ongoing formative feedback Competency assessment in collaboration with the university The MNPractSt program uses the SOAP format for all patient documentation and case study presentation, therefore it is expected that candidates would become familiar with discussing and presenting patients using SOAP. A copy of the SOAP notes is attached under NURS7002 (p37-38) 6
18 Role of the University of Queensland: Each NP candidate has been assigned an Academic Mentor, who is an experienced nurse practitioner able to assist the NP candidate and their CST in their clinical environment. In addition, the Program Director, Master of Nurse Practitioner Studies monitors the academic progress of each NP candidate. Contact details are supplied at the beginning of this document. The responsibilities of the academic mentor and course coordinator are to support the CST and mentor by: Ongoing support for the candidate and mentor and CST in the clinical setting through regular contacts Working with candidate to develop experiential learning approach as they work into the role. Identification of learning needs with candidate. Planning learning activities with candidate Collaborating with the mentor and CST to identify at risk candidate Planning and supporting the mentor and CST with assessment of candidate 7
19 Risk Management: Candidate are deemed at risk when summative feedback, assessment results or observation of practice from mentors, the clinical support team and or academic staff indicate that the candidate is not maintaining satisfactory progress in the course. This flowchart indicates the management plan for at risk candidates. Formative or Summative feedback; Assessment results; Direct observation of practice; Reports from clinical field; Self-reporting by candidate: May indicate candidate is not maintaining satisfactory progress in the course- At risk of failure. Clinical learning environment (CLE) reviewed with NP line manager/ CST/ academic mentor Issues discussed with Candidate by academic / clinical mentor.

Candidate performance reviewed according to formal learning contract Candidate s assessment remains unsatisfactory OR CLE issues unresolvable Candidate is counselled by mentor and academic course coordinator and withdrawn from the course OR CLE New CLE established if feasible and appropriate Clinical facility informed of outcome 8
20 Assessments Role of the Mentor / Clinical Support Team in Assessment In general, the clinical mentor is the best person to provide feedback to the NP candidate about their progress and skills development. As they work alongside the candidate, it is expected that opportunities for clinical teaching and critical reflection will be used to give ongoing advice and guidance to the candidate. NP candidates are assessed in a number of ways (Table 2) in the field: by completion of Physical Examinations, through oral presentations (oral viva) of completed case study, and through formative and summative assessment of their development as a Nurse Practitioner. NP candidates also complete a number of written case based assignments that are graded by the academic team. Mentors are asked to assist in the clinical assessment of their NP candidate at several times throughout the semester. The requirements will vary from semester to semester; the following is a summary of expectations during the program. Table 2. Overview of assessment in the program to be marked by clinical mentor (CM) and/or clinical support team members (CSTM) NURS7001 NURS7002 PE X 4 NP competency assessment X 2 Formative CM / CSTM Summative CM CM Oral Viva CM and 1 CSTM NURS7003 Oral Viva CM and 1 CSTM NURS7004 NP competency assessment X 2 Formative CM / CSTM Summative CM Oral Viva CM and 1 CSTM Details and the assessment tools for each item will be presented and provided below under each course.
