Nursing

The laboratory program focuses on the acquisition and consolidation of essential nursing technical skills through practical, simulated, and supervised exercises. The activities will cover the following areas: • Techniques for measuring vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, oxygen saturation); • Wound care management procedures (basic and complex dressing techniques, aseptic methods); • Safe drug administration procedures (oral, intramuscular, subcutaneous, intravenous routes); • Management of medical devices (urinary catheterization, nasogastric tube management, drains); • Patient mobilization and positioning techniques (prevention of pressure injuries, assisted mobilization techniques); • Patient safety management and clinical risk prevention; • Effective communication in nursing practice; • Proper use of operational checklists for self-assessment and performance improvement. Each session will include a brief theoretical introduction, supervised practical exercises, and a feedback and self-assessment phase.

Basic theoretical knowledge of general and specialized nursing disciplines acquired during previous modules. Ability to apply principles of hygiene, safety, communication, and clinical risk management.

• Updated manuals of nursing techniques (e.g., “Fundamentals of Nursing” – Potter & Perry) • Clinical and nursing care guidelines and protocols adopted by the institution • Educational material provided during the course

Attendance at the laboratory sessions is mandatory. Students must attend at least 75% of the scheduled hours in order to be eligible for final assessment.

The assessment will be based on the active participation in professional laboratory activities and on the application of the acquired knowledge and skills during the clinical internship. Participation and practical application are the only requirements necessary to successfully complete the module.

The laboratory activities will take place in person during the second semester (March–June). Students will attend weekly sessions lasting 3 hours each, during which they will engage in guided practical exercises and simulated nursing care activities under the supervision of experienced tutors.
