Open in-depth studies. Clinical studies consist of three continuous phases over 12 weeks, all with different content and aims. The intention is to prepare students mentally and practically for the coming weeks. Students compose a written project-report on the information collected. The intention is to acquire new knowledge and experiences in a clinical setting, to integrate theoretical and clinical knowledge and to gain further competence and skills in psychiatric nursing.
Students write a diary during the clinical period and compose two short situation reports.
Both formative and summative assessments take place in the clinical setting. After completing clinical studies, students individually writes a paper as home-examination on nursing and related to own clinical experience during a three to four weeks period. The paper has to be about a central subject within psychiatric nursing. There is also a one day individually written examination in psychiatric nursing.
