The various education programmes and study days outlined in this booklet are structured to facilitate and support the
ongoing educational development of all nurses and midwives throughout New Zealand. The education offered will
contribute to the development of nursing & midwifery practice and support personal and professional development of all
those who participate. This book contains educational opportunities that will be offered in 2009.
There are also a number of specific Capital & Coast District Health Board (C&C DHB) collaborative programmes offered
through other institutions, some of which are extramural. These are advertised in the PDU.
It is hoped that you take advantage of the opportunities offered.

How to Register for a Programme / Study Day

Choose the study day that you feel meets your learning requirements and discussed with your Nurse/Midwife
Educator or Clinical Nurse/Midwife Specialist and Charge Nurse/Midwife Manager/Team Leader to ensure that
you have study leave available and it can be rostered appropriately. Study day requirements should be part of
your professional development plan and discussed at your performance appraisal.

Contact the relevant Course Facilitator or Coordinator for details or contact the Professional Development Unit.

Ask your CNE to book you onto the study day on One Staff (or whoever undertakes this on your ward/unit).

If the study day is not featured in One Staff, complete and return the relevant registration form (attached)

If you are unable to attend a course or study day please advise the appropriate Course Coordinator as soon as
possible. Some of these study days have a waiting list and we need to reallocate your space.

There is a cost for some of the courses and study days so please contact the appropriate Course
Coordinator for further information.

NB – Occasionally study days are cancelled or venues are changed – we will endeavour to inform all potential
attendees should this happen, so please ensure that you provide us with up to date contact details – often a
home or cell phone number is more appropriate than a ward/unit number.

Graduate School of Nursing, Midwifery and Health
Victoria University of Wellington
Registered nurses, midwives and health professionals from all over New Zealand choose the Graduate School of
Nursing, Midwifery and Health for their postgraduate study. Their disciplines and experience vary widely; some have
been nursing for years while others are relatively new to the profession; and some work in hospitals while others are
based in independent practice.
The Graduate School offers coursework programmes to suit this diversity, all designed to challenge, inform and educate and to help you to contribute greater value to your own and the wider profession.
Research-based programmes
On our own and in partnership with district health boards like Capital & Coast DHB and other research groups nationally
and internationally, we explore and address key issues affecting nursing, midwifery and health. Our research strengths lie
in normal birth, cultural safety, mental health, historical inquiry in nursing and midwifery, evidence-based practice and
practice development.
If your passionate about a subject that you know would benefit from close scrutiny and analysis, the Graduate School is a
great place to do research. With a full range of research courses and training programmes, a strong team of academic
professionals to support you and excellent access to extensive online library resources, you’ll have everything you need
for your study.
http://www.vuw.ac.nz/nsemid/
The Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Nursing is a clinically focused programme that enables nurses working in
specialty areas to develop their practice and competencies at an advanced level.
The following programmes are delivered in collaboration with Capital & Coast DHB enabling you to meet the
requirements for continuing professional education and offered in the following specialty areas;
 Cancer Nursing (see NURS 538)
 Intensive Care (see NURS 539)
 Cardiac/Cardiothoracic (see NURS 540)
 Paediatrics (see NURS 542)
 Neonatal care (see NURS 545)
Each programme comprises two masters-level courses (60 points) - one in your area of practice and the other an
integrated practicum course (NURS 512 Practicum 1), which helps you to transform theory into action.
You’ll be required to undertake self-directed study, take part in tutorials and in some cases provide a record of clinical
hours at work. All programmes take a full year, and you should allow about 12 hours per week per course.
If you complete the programme successfully, you’ll be awarded a postgraduate certificate, and you’ll be able to apply for
entry to the Postgraduate Diploma, MA (Applied) or MN (Clinical) programme (if the courses are appropriate for the MN
(Clinical) pathway. Your certificate courses will count towards these programmes.

Postgraduate Certificate in Nursing
The Postgraduate Certificate in Nursing offers Registered Nurses a wide range of choice in courses. You simply choose
two courses of 30 points each from our MA (Applied) in Nursing schedule (published annually) that together support your
analytic and reflective skills in relation to practice.
The following courses are delivered in collaboration with Capital & Coast DHB enabling you to meet the requirements for
continuing professional education.
Specialty Knowledge & Practice; Nursing assessment and management across the lifespan NURS 552, in the following
specialty areas:
 Acute Care
 Community Health
 Paediatric Nursing
 Renal
and
Clinical Inquiry: Evidence for Practice NURS 518
This course focuses on health care outcomes and locating evidence to underpin nursing practice. It provides students
with the opportunity to become critical and sophisticated consumers of published research. Students will focus on one
clinical issue or scenario from their own practice arena and will be assisted to develop this clinical issue into a searchable
question; become familiar with searching electronic health care databases; locate studies that are most likely to answer
43
the question; undertake a critical appraisal of one study to determine the validity of the results; translate results into
measures of clinical significance and use this information to determine how the results will help solve the clinical issue.
You’ll be required to undertake self-directed study, take part in tutorials and in some cases provide a record of clinical
hours at work. All programmes take a full year, and you should allow about 12 hours per week per course.
If you complete the programme successfully, you’ll be awarded a postgraduate certificate, and you’ll be able to apply for
entry to the Postgraduate Diploma, MA (Applied) or MN (Clinical) programme (if the courses are appropriate for the MN
(Clinical) pathway. Your certificate courses will count towards these programmes. However, you’ll be required to
relinquish your Certificate when you are awarded a higher qualification.

Massey University
Massey University has been providing programmes for Nurses and midwives continuously since 1973. From 2000 a
major focus has been the development of programmes focused on clinical practice and many students choose the
clinically focused Postgraduate Certificate, Postgraduate Diploma or Masters of Nursing programmes of study. These
Nursing Council approved programmes are chosen by registered nurses to support the development of advanced
practice and for Nurse Practitioner preparation (including prescribing).
44
Nursing lecturers at Massey University have significant research experience and the nursing school was ranked first
out of all nursing schools and departments assessed in the 2007 Tertiary Education Commission’s research quality
ranking exercise – the Performance Based Research Fund. The department is focused on the development of
international research and scholarship to underpin clinical practice.
Midwives and nurses also explore a wide variety of topics through research and Massey University offers postgraduate
research degrees such as the Master of Arts, Master of Philosophy and Doctor of Philosophy, which include a
significant research project as part, or all, of the programme of study.
Massey University offers papers at all three campuses: Wellington, Palmerston North and Albany and is also a major
provider of undergraduate nursing and midwifery programmes.

knowledge of all Health care professionals such as nurses, doctors and other allied health professionals. There are a
flexible range of study options, with over 50 papers to choose from for postgraduate certificates and diplomas. Many

interdisciplinary practice. For example, nurses who have completed studies in the Department of Primary Health Care
and General Practice have found these courses particularly topical, targeting both their clinical and academic needs.
Course advice is always important in planning a postgraduate education pathway. Each department has a dedicated
course advisor who would be more than happy to discuss your individual education plan.

A number of distance taught interdisciplinary papers are available to meet the needs of primary health care professionals
and which lead to Postgraduate Certificate, Postgraduate Diploma and interface with the Masters programme. A 1½ day
