15.0 ECTS creditsThe course integrates nursing (7.5 ECTS cr) and medical science (7.5 ECTS cr).
The course is in the form of a ten-week practical placement, of which 1 week is in the anesthesia unit. Attendance at the practical placement is mandatory. Students can take the course at full-time or part-time pace.
During the practical placement period, students study nursing and medical science in a prehospital context, thus integrating and developing theory and practice. Foundational theories, models and methods in prehospital nursing are applied, and care techniques, safety efforts, communication, site safety, patient transport and handling medical technical equipment are applied as well as ACPR and child ACPR. Students also study and apply structured assessment, care and treatment as well as prioritising and choosing care level. Documentation, ethics and giving information to patient and next-of-kin are also treated. In the anesthesia unit students practise techniques to facilitate respiration.
During the practical placement period, students develop professional skills and professional conduct in prehospital nursing. Students reflect on and practise the meaning of respecting patient dignity, integrity and autonomy and demonstrate professional conduct characterised by insight, judgement and competence.
