Opiskelumateriaali
Opintojakson harjoitteet pohjautuvat Hoitotyön perusteissa käytössä olevaan oppikirjaan ja hoitosuosituksiin.
Verkko-opinto-osuuteen sisältyy Duodecimin verkkokursseja ja videoita, jotka ohjataan Learnissa.
Yksilölliset oppimisväylät
Opiskelija osallistuu lukujärjestyksen mukaiseen kontaktiopetukseen oman pienryhmänsä mukana. Tunneilla on 100% läsnäolovelvoite. Mahdollisen poissaolon voi korvata toisen pienryhmän mukana vastaavan sisältöisellä tunnilla.
TKI ja työelämäyhteistyö
Ei sisälly oppilaitoksen ulkopuolista harjoittelua, mutta opintojakso antaa pohjan ensimmäiselle harjoittelulle.
Tentit ja muut määräajat
Osallistuminen kontaktitunteihin ennakkotehtävien pohjalta. Poissaolot korvattava muiden ryhmien mukana.
Kansainvälinen yhteistyö
Ei sisälly.
Opiskelijan työmäärä
Opiskelijan työmäärä on 135 tuntia jakautuen ennakkovalmistautumiseen (verkko-opinnot 1 op) ja kontaktituntien harjoitteisiin pienryhmissä.
Toteutuksen osien kuvaus
Sisältö etenee aihealue kerrallaan lukujärjestyksen mukaisesti.
Further information
Opiskelijalla on oltava tunneilla hoitajan työvaatteet, kengät ja nimineula. Tunneille tullaan jo valmiiksi työvaatteissa.
