Objectives
Advanced practice nurses have a broader range of skills than state-qualified nurses, validated by the state diploma in advanced practice nursing issued by the University.
Organization
Knowledge control
Knowledge control procedures
In each Teaching Unit (UE), skills and knowledge may vary. This may involve a final exam, and/or continuous assessment and/or validation of attendance at certain courses. The assessment methods chosen for each UE are published definitively no later than one month after the start of the academic year.
There are two examination sessions per year:
- A first session at the end of each semester.
- A second session at the beginning of July, during which each student will sit for the UEs not validated during the first session.
The validation of a UE is pronounced by the jury after deliberation when the student has obtained a mark equal to or higher than 10/20.
Program
Classes are held face-to-face in Montpellier outside internship periods.
- First-year internship: 10 weeks
- Second-year internship: 4 months
The training will be organized around a 1st year of common core training, laying the foundations for advanced practice nursing, and a 2nd year focused on teaching related to the chosen specialization: - Stabilized chronic pathologies; prevention and common polypathologies in primary care
- mention Oncology-hemato-oncology
- mention Chronic Kidney Disease, Dialysis, Renal Transplantation
- Psychiatry and Mental Health specialization
