The course has the following 3 themes which incorporate the nursing metaparadigms (environment, nursing, human beings and health):
Theme 1 – Sustainability in nursing
Theme 3 – Diversity in nursing
Further information on nursing is brilliantly presented by Jennifer Jackson – What is nursing work?
This will be the model for the student nurse journey from day 1 to joining the register – perhaps presented with one of Jamie Cooper’s excellent videos?
