Fundamentals of Nursing

The fundamentals course in 43 chapters: what the nurse's role actually carries, how the health care environment works, and how to think critically and practise on evidence rather than habit. It builds through simulated patient interactions so students practise communication before they are graded on it, carries insights from practising nurses, and is organised around Quality and Safety Education for Nurses competencies.
