Comprehensive health care and professional nursing

In the course of studies in Healthcare and Nursing at the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences, theoretical, nursing, medical, scientific, communicative and legal basics are taught/learned and consolidated in practical training within the 3 years. Half of the course of study is implemented in the "real" professional field" and offers the opportunity to reflect on the acquired knowledge and nursing activities from the very beginning and to establish a continuous theory - practice transfer.

 

Repositioning of the higher service

Internships are an indispensable prerequisite for obtaining a professional qualification. The aim is for students to learn to think critically, to justify their actions on a sound scientific basis and to implement or apply new knowledge. Both the theoretical and practical training deals with the repositioning of the upper level of the nursing profession and the associated transfer of competencies within and between the occupational groups in the health care system. From the very beginning, students learn basic knowledge about their job description and their position in an interdisciplinary team.

The course of study healthcare & nursing is completed with the following professional title:

Graduate nurse (Diplomierter Gesundheits- und Krankenpflegerin/ Diplomierter Gesundheits- und Krankenpfleger 
Bachelor of Science in Health Studies (BSc)

Study + Work

Study & Work - is that possible?

With over 80 Study & Work partner companies and organizations, Carinthia University of Applied Sciences offers first-year students of a bachelor's or master's degree program the opportunity to combine their studies with a career.

This attractive offer gives students the chance to immediately put theoretical knowledge into practice and gain professional experience in Carinthia's leading companies.

Profile

Social change processes, such as demographic change and socio-cultural shifts, but above all increasing cost pressure, place new demands on nursing staff and their professional self-image. As a consequence, health and nursing education is also challenged to redesign itself. There is a need for an equally practice-oriented and scientifically oriented range of courses at university level, in order to be able to prepare the upper level of the health and nursing service adequately for current and future developments in practice. Accordingly, the bachelor's degree program in "Healthcare and Nursing" offers a sound basic education on a scientific basis and with a high degree of practical relevance.

The degree program "Healthcare and Nursing" of the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences offers a sound, generalistic basic education that prepares students in the best possible way for the new tasks, competences and responsibilities of the higher service in health and nursing and provides the prerequisites for specialization trainings that deepen or broaden competences.

For admission to the internship you need the vaccinations listed in the vaccination sheet:

Graduates of the CUAS bachelor's degree program acquire the professional competence for the exercise of their profession, which includes subject and methodological competence as well as instrumental and technical competence. The professional competence is divided into the following competences, derived from the task areas of nursing: 

  • Individual-related competence: Graduates learn to apply their well-founded abilities and skills in the areas of competence (core competence in nursing, competence in medical diagnostics and therapy as well as competence in multi-professional care teams) of professional nursing to individuals, families and groups. They are able to perform demanding and complex nursing tasks and take over the professional management in nursing practice. They also have the skills to work in a multi-professional team.
  • Organisational competence: Graduates can effectively and efficiently apply their knowledge of business administration, organisation theory and business management to their work in health care and nursing and weigh up professional ethics, economic efficiency and individuality in decision-making.
  • Sociopolitical competence: Graduates are able to introduce the nursing perspective on health, functional impairment or damage, illness, dying or death into the socio-political discourse and to participate in or organize relevant events, actions, working groups, programs and projects. They also have the competence to perceive the range of tasks of health promotion and prevention - especially in schools, childcare facilities, companies and communities - and to develop innovative concepts for these areas.

Job & Career

Healthcare and Nursing is a highly qualified, versatile profession, which is characterised above all by professional competence, a sense of responsibility and lifelong learning. "Nursing" makes up the largest occupational group in the health care system and is accordingly a profession with very good job opportunities, further education and training opportunities. No matter whether nurses work in an interdisciplinary team or alone - every qualified nurse is responsible for his or her own actions at the moment he or she starts work and requires a basic moral and ethical attitude.

WHY STUDY NURSING?
Nursing studies - profession & study - profession as a vocation?

Newly defined areas of competence in nursing (see GuKG), technical progress in medicine, the multimorbidity of people of all ages and demographic development are some of the reasons why the requirements in professional training for qualified nurses have become more extensive. The reaction to this is the so-called academisation of nursing (nursing training at tertiary level at university).

It is necessary for members of the nursing profession to adapt to new findings, to allow changes and to constantly reflect and adapt their nursing actions. The application of evidence-based care1 in the respective field of work of nursing is the process of lifelong learning of nurses. Many steps in daily practice are based on learned expertise combined with positive experiences and traditions. In combination with clinical expertise, evidence-based care becomes scientifically based, individual and patient-oriented care rather than "cookbook care", which leads to the thoughtless application of rules, guidelines and standards (DiCenso, Cullum 1998).

After the Bachelor's degree in Healthcare and Nursing, which provides students with a generalist education and thus enables them to care for people throughout their entire life span, specialisation and further training is offered at university level.

There is a wide range of further training courses, and this is what makes the job really interesting. You can set your own priorities: Hygiene officer, wound management, diabetes counselling, breast care nurse, cancer nurse, pain nurse, stoma nurse, practical instructions, and much more.

Specializations according to GuKG §70a

  1. Specialisations comprise a total of at least 90 ECTS theoretical and practical training. They can be offered as self-contained courses of study or in staged courses with individual degrees (levels 1 and 2).
  2. Level 1 (without extension of authority) comprises medical, nursing and scientific specialisation in the corresponding subject areas to the extent of at least 30 ECTS.
  3. Level 2 (with extended authorization) requires Level 1 and includes medical, nursing and scientific expansion in the corresponding subject areas to the extent of at least 60 ECTS.
  4. Specialisations with several departments can also be offered and completed separately in Level 1, but must be combined in Level 2.

 
Specializations are currently (2017) possible in the fields of child and adolescent care, psychiatric health and nursing, anaesthesia and intensive care, palliative care, kidney replacement therapy, and nursing in the surgery area.
