Teaching methods

COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE TO ALL WORKSHOPS AND SIMULATIONS

Group is divided to 4 small groups: A, B, C, D
Workshops:
- Advanced Life Support / Riikka
- Surgical workshop / Ilari
- Intraoperative workshop / Tiina
- Infusion and transfusion / Riikka
Simulations /Riikka & Tiina

Learning materials and recommended literature

Theory for these workshops and simulations is taught in V1609.
V1609 study material is used for this.

Alternative completion methods of implementation

None

Co-operation with working life and/or RDI

Professional development in practice III 12 cr is done in authentic nursing care environment in co-operation with hospitals.

Important dates

Check Pakki for your groups workshop and simulation dates.
Participate to V1609 orientation lecture - you will get your group code there.
