PROGRAM STRUCTURE 4.1 Length of Course Fifty Three Weeks 4.2 Placement Departments Placement departments are: Acute Care Unit, Day and Night Duty; Day Surgery Unit/Operating Suite Plus 2 Weeks supernumerary placements each in Home Nursing and Emergency Department also seven week placement at Lorne Community Hospital. The breadth of experience gained from each placement department will foster the development of a sound and competent Registered Nurse Division 1. Acute Care Unit The Acute Services Department provides a wide range of services including acute medical and surgical care, obstetric care and intensive care with a 3 bed Special Care Unit. The range of services in this area includes obstetrics, general surgery, general medicine, urology, orthopaedics, gynaecology, eye surgery, paediatrics, and the requirements for general acute medical conditions and may include detoxification from alcohol and other drugs and can include psychiatric care. Acute Care Unit rotations usually involve two day-duty and one night-duty placement. The graduate will experience care delivery over the continuum of care requirements. Day Surgery Unit / Operating Suite The Operating Suite at Colac Area Health consists of 2 operating theatres catering for a broad range of services including orthopaedic, gynaecological, urology, general, ophthalmology and endoscopy. The Day Surgery Unit (DSU) is attached to the Operating Suite, it consists of seven trolleys and is routinely open Monday to Friday. Some 2000 patients a year attend this service. Most patients requiring elective surgery are admitted to DSU on the morning of their surgery and discharged home later that day. Some long-term patients are admitted direct to the Acute Care Unit following their discharge from Operating Suite. This placement allows the graduate nurse the opportunity to experience perioperative patient care. It educates the graduate nurse about the variety and diversity of the role of the perioperative nurse and gives the opportunity to function clinically as the instrument (scrub) nurse, the circulating (scout) nurse, the anaesthetic nurse and the recovery room (PACU) nurse. Home Nursing Supernumerary Placement of two (2) weeks Combines the Visiting Nursing Service with Hospital in the Home Program, supports the Palliative Nurse Consultant, Diabetes Nurse Educator roles. The range of services able to be experienced in the patient s home includes: hospital in the home, acute care in the community, aged supportive care, palliative care and continence and the wound management programs. Emergency Department Supernumerary Placement of two (2) weeks This is a first contact department and graduates will be able to experience emergency triage and the delivery of emergency care. They will participate in the variety of people and situations that attend the Emergency Department 5
6 Lorne Community Hospital Graduate nurses will have up to seven (7) weeks placement at Lorne Community Hospital in which they will be able to experience a range of nursing experiences including: emergency first contact care, aged care, acute care and community based care dialysis and community based programs for all ages Optional Placement - Aged Residential Care Polwarth House is a 48-bed long-term aged care facility. It caters for frail or incapacitated aged people including those who experience dementia. 4.3 Support and Education Orientation to Service Orientation to the service will involve five days. This will comprise three days of general orientation and two days supernumerary placement in the initial placement department. This will occur at both Colac Area Health and Lorne Community Hospital. Day One Day One is the Services Wide Orientation Day at Colac Area Health and will involve a member of the Executive Team, various members of staff who will discuss relevant information for a new staff member to be aware of. This day is to ensure that the participant is aware of the general aims and goals of Colac Area Health and to inform each new staff member of the emergency, occupational and professional polices and procedures they should be aware of. The graduate will also learn how to access the various support staff within Colac Area Health. Days Two and Three Days Two and Three will consist of skill education and review, to ensure that the graduate nurse understands the equipment and procedures required by Colac Area Health and includes training in the No-Lift Techniques of patient handling. This will be followed by interviews explaining the role and expectation for graduate nurses within each of the placement departments by that department s nurse unit manager Orientation to Placement Areas Days Four and Five Specific departmental orientation will focus on the aspects of that area that all staff must know in order to provide safe and quality care within that particular department. To this end, on day four and five, graduate nurses will be supernumerary in their initial placement department where they will be under the supervision of their preceptor and supported by the clinical support nurse. To ensure that the graduate nurse experiences a smooth transition to each department, the first day of each subsequent placement will be supernumerary. 6
7 A preceptor 1 from the department will be paired with the graduate nurse to assist integration into that department s specific culture and routine. The function of the preceptor is to assist the development and socialisation of the graduate into the role of Registered Nurse Division 1. The preceptor, clinical support nurse and other departmental staff as required will provide departmental orientation. This will occur for each placement for each graduate nurse The graduate nurse will be placed with their preceptor and share a single caseload during the orientation period. This is to allow for a review of the graduate nurse s experience and capabilities to ensure transition of practice within that department and to meet any of the graduate nurse s needs for orientation or skill development necessary for that department. During this departmental orientation day, the graduate nurse in conjunction with the preceptor will establish his or her own specific goals and objectives for the placement period. The preceptor and clinical support nurse will discuss the general orientation goals and objectives for the placement and assist the graduate nurse to work through these requirements during the placement period. The preceptor is to liaise with the clinical support nurse and the nurse unit manager as required to ensuring the graduate nurse s objectives can be met. The first day in each placement area will be the supernumerary orientation day to enable the graduate nurse to explore that department s structure and specific requirements for care. It will include the location and purpose of emergency systems and any alarms present in that department Education and support program Colac Area Health and Lorne Community Hospital offers a range of activities, seminars, training days and information sharing within our ongoing Graduate Nurse Program Education Sessions.
