Emergency nursing is a dynamic and challenging specialty. The acuity of patients, complexity of care and degree of technological intervention are variable. Emergency nurses must be able to prioritise patient care and provide accurate assessment and effective ongoing management for a diversity of patient populations. Nursing practice in emergency departments may range from life saving interventions to providing health promotion and injury prevention information.
Emergency nurses are required to deal with patients who have variable acuity, complexity of care and degree of technological intervention. They must be able to prioritise patient care and provide accurate assessment. The graduate diploma provides nurses with the knowledge and skills to successfully meet these challenges. The course articulates with both the graduate certificate and masters degree.
