Professional Development for Nurses
Decisions can be conscious or unconscious, they can be trivial or life-altering, but nurses must make these vital choices every day. In this program, we explore the nursing process as a framework for decision making; from assessment and planning, to implementation and evaluation. We look in more detail at the eight steps of the judgment process, identify typical roles within a nursing unit and how they contribute to effective team decision making, and discuss internal and external barriers to good choices. This is essential viewing for nurses wanting to increase their confidence and effectiveness at decision making.

To protect patient's interests in health care, principles of informed consent have been developed to ensure a person's right to decide the type of treatments they are prepared to receive. Patients see themselves as active participants in their health care and health care professions support this involvement. Informed consent not only protects the patients' rights, but also those of nurses and other health care professionals, from possible legal ramifications.
It is a complex area, and one that can present medical professionals, including nurses, with ethical dilemmas. If consent is given (or not) by a patient or by a patient's partner or family member - and abiding by their wishes places their life or health in jeopardy - what do you do?
In the world of health care, procedures can be risky and invasive. Expert health care knowledge means that there is the potential for a power imbalance in the nurse/patient relationship.
Furthermore, the advancement of health care knowledge and technology relies on research, which often requires patient involvement.
This program looks at consent in health care through the dramatised presentation of two case studies.

Whenever newspapers or other media carry stories about the public's perception of the level of ethics associated with various professions, nursing always rates very highly.
Nurses deal with people, and often those with whom they deal are highly vulnerable. Nurses have a duty of care to patients, and their profession demands ethical behaviour and treatment of those in their care -at all times.
This program explores ethics in nursing, with reference to the Australian Code of Nursing Ethics. It defines ethics, and explains why it is critical that nurses know about ethics and the standards of behaviour that are demanded by their profession. It also takes a look at what ethics are not, as often there can be confusion in people's minds about exactly what defines ethics. It examines various types of ethics and how they impact on, and play out in, the nursing profession, and features two experts -Sue Hunter from La Trobe University's Division of Nursing and Midwifery, and Registered Nurse, Sally Heads.
This program is essential viewing for any nurse in training -either at university or other post-secondary institutions. It also is ideal as a professional development tool for a range of health care institutions, clinics and care facilities.
It was produced with the assistance of the residents and staff of Residential Aged Services' Willow View Aged Care Facility in Pakenham, Victoria.

Documentation, the recording of a patient's condition, treatment and response to treatment, is one of the most basic nursing skills. But its importance to both the patient and the nurse providing care cannot be overstated. This is because the medical record fulfills three important functions: first, it provides information about the patient's current condition, treatment response, and progress. Second, it serves as a legal record of the care provided. Third, it provides information used for reimbursement by third party payers.This two-part series on documentation provides nurses and others with an understanding of the importance of accurate and objective charting in order to assist the patient's continuing care, and of the legal and administrative considerations related to healthcare documentation. It addresses issues such as meeting documentation standards required by the Joint Commission's National Patient Safety Goals, the use of charts for performance improvement activities, and concerns about privacy considerations and new technology such as camera phones and online "blogs."
