Semester 1 Modules

This will be somewhat of a short post in terms of discussion, but contains plenty for you to see. =) As I now have access to the university student site I have found out the modules for my first semester. I have 2 different modules, each one consisting of different subjects. They are as follows;

Professional Values & Academic Skills (Module 1);

- Nursing as a Profession & the NMC Code of Conduct

- Record Keeping

- Introduction to Law, Ethics & Human Rights

- Portfolio & Employability

- Introduction to Evidence-Based Practice

- Introduction to Reflective Practice

- Diversity & Safeguarding

- Philosophy of Nursing

Introduction to Nursing Practice & Decision Making (Module 2);

- Patient Handling

- Basic Life Support

- Infection Prevention & Control

- Care, Compassion & Communication

- Nutrition and Fluid Management

- Organisational Aspects of Care

- Medicines Management

Anatomy & Physiology consists of;

- Cells & Homeostasis

- The Skin

- Cardiovascular System

- Nervous System

- Renal System

- Digestive System

- Respiratory System

- Physiology of Pain

- Principles of Pharmacology

And all this is just the first semester!!! Each module will coincide with the other, so it's not like we'll do just module 1 and then go onto module 2, we do them at the same time. I don't know if that's good or bad... Anyway, I am so excited to be going over all these subjects, and I am really looking forward to the challenge. I will try my hardest to write an entry on each of these, however, time may not allow that, I'll soon find out.

4 WEEKS & 5 DAYS TO GO...
