Assessment Details
A range of assessment methods will be used to provide students the opportunity to demonstrate competence to achieve the unit requirements. This can range from:
- Knowledge Questioning – either written or verbal, this method is used to assess your knowledge
- Product based – can range from written reports, work samples, presentations, product displays, projects, case studies, portfolios
- Practical Observation – can be in real time in the workplace or through practical simulated off the job for example role plays in labs
Student are required to demonstrate and achieve all aspects and requirements of the assessment task. Students will be assessed as Satisfactory (S) or Not Yet satisfactory (NYS). A student must achieve a satisfactory outcome for all assessment tasks prior to a final unit result outcome of Competency Achieved (CA) being recorded.
The assessment methods being used for this unit are outlined below:

Student Attendance
All students are required to:
- Attend and participate appropriately in all activities scheduled. Complete pre-class preparation – e.g., recommended reading and learning activities on Canvas.
- Study all material provided to maximise chances of meeting the Unit's objectives.
- Meet the 80% attendance requirement for lectures. Evidence in the form of a medical certificate or statutory declaration must be provided if one cannot attend. It will be the student's responsibility to 'catch up'. It is the student's responsibility to seek assistance from their educator.

Evidence in the form of a medical certificate or statutory declaration must be provided if one cannot attend to qualify for a make-up session. The 'make-up' session time and date will be at the discretion of the RMIT Nursing Program Coordinator. Non-attendance to the make-up session without evidence to support the non-attendance can result in no further opportunity.
- Failure to meet the 100% practical sessions attendance requirement can result in exclusion from the clinical skills assessments, leading to a Not Yet Satisfactory result and ultimately Not Yet Competent.
- Four hundred (400) clinical placement hours must be completed by the end of the program to meet the program requirements.
