Diploma Course in Cardiovascular Nursing
The core of cardiovascular nursing practice specifies those roles,
behaviour, and processes that are inherent to primary, secondary and
tertiary levels of cardiovascular practice.
The Scope of cardiovascular nursing practice involves the assessment,
analysis, nursing diagnosis, outcome identification, planning,
implementation of interventions, and evaluation of human responses to
perceived, actual or potential, sudden or urgent, physical or
psychological problems that are primarily episodic or acute, and which
occur in a variety of settings: non-acute, acute or interventional.
These may include life-support measures in the acute patient.
Cardiovascular nursing practice also includes patient and family
education; appropriate referral and discharge planning; and knowledge of
legal implications.
This one year Post Graduate Diploma course is organized into 4
theoretical and 2 practical papers
The course is likely to start with effect from July 2006.
