To enter the internship, the student must have successfully passed the professionalizing internship 2; have eligibility for the professionalizing and in-depth activities 2 (APA2).
The evaluation of the internship is summative and certifying and different elements are involved.
The student is admitted to the internship examination if he/she has the CFUs required for the year of the course and if he/she has reached at least the sufficiency (18/30), calculating the weighted average of the following elements
- three written tests aimed at assessing the acquisition of disciplinary skills and professional judgment skills acquired
- one written paper
- at least one Clinical Internship Evaluation form for each internship experience signed by a pedagogical Tutor and/or an ATUO
- one internship examination call scheduled by October 15 and one call in January prior to the March session.
Therefore, the final internship grade results from the weighted average of the above elements.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
The purpose of the 3rd year internship is to complete the acquisition of the professional competencies of the general nursing nurse. Particular attention will be given to the development of the ability to make decisions and to take responsibility for nursing care of vulnerable and fragile people in different stages of life, in different care contexts and in compliance with the deontological values and legal rules governing the professional practice.
More precisely, the professionalizing training activity allows the student to
1. recognize their own professional contribution within the health care team and compare themselves with the different role models
2. establish the professional relationship, respecting the principles and values of the person and the professional in situations of vital criticality and chronicity of disease referring, in particular, to the deontological concepts of accountability, advocacy, caring and cooperation
3. identify opportunities to promote the health and well-being of people, ensuring safety and promoting the recovery of autonomy in complex care situations
4. identify, within the areas of practice, possible areas of nursing research
5. make decisions and solve care problems through clinical reasoning in situations of medium/high complexity.
EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES
Upon completion of the first-year professionalizing internship, the student will be able to:
1. draft a nursing care plan that includes the initial assessment of the person being cared for, identification of nursing diagnoses/needs, and the most frequent goals/outcomes in critical life situations, various stages of life, and chronic disease conditions
2. perform nursing interventions in accordance with guidelines and protocols and reflect on a possible need for updating by consulting the most authoritative sources
3. identify care situations that require the initiation of a process of taking care of people with chronic illnesses
4. transmit information within the health care team using the health and nursing documentation in use
5. apply clinical risk management procedures to create and maintain a safe environment
