This specialty Nursing master’s degree is a response to the need within the healthcare sector and will be supported by scholarships from PSCC.
This master’s degree is designed to advance registered nurses’ cardiac knowledge and skills enabling them to meet contemporary challenges in advanced cardiac nursing. Participation in the program will develop understanding of the nursing and medical care requirements for all levels of adult and paediatric patient complexity and assist the registered nurse to integrate theory into practice supporting both academic and clinical competence. By enhancing the theoretical knowledge and the practical abilities, qualified cardiac registered nurses’ graduates will be able to deliver adept clinical assessment, decision making and patient management skills, while supporting the imperative of evidence-based practice more effectively. The Master of Cardiac Nursing will enable graduate nurses to develop their professional autonomy while providing role models, as well as educational and leadership support for junior staff.
