NRS160 Contexts of Nursing Management

Case scenario

Please read the case scenario provided below and answer the two questions using a variety of credible sources.

You are a nursing student on clinical placement at Sturt Hospital. You are on placement with another first year student from the same university called Jamie. Jamie is working the same shifts as you. You have been working the same morning shift as Jamie for the last three (3) days. At morning tea Jamie tells you that she hates her placement, is learning nothing and has complained on the student Facebook page. You check the Facebook page and see the following post from Jamie: Warning! All CSU nursing students on WPL at Sturt Hospital. The medical ward is disgraceful – doing nothing but making beds and wiping old peoples’ backsides. To top it all off, for all those Bathurst students, am working with “you know who” – S.J is unsafe and wanders around all day looking stupid. Looked after John aged 89 yesterday and had to change his bed 3 times. His daughter gave me $50 at the end of shift – bonus!! You are horrified to see what Jamie has written about the ward, the patients and also as your initials feature in the post as the “unsafe” fellow student. You reflect on Jamie’s behaviour in light of the Code of conduct and Code of ethics…

Question One (approx 500 words)

Describe and provide examples of how Jamie’s actions have breached the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia’s (NMBA) Code of conduct for nurses (2018).

Question Two (approx 500 words)

Describe and provide examples of how Jamie’s actions have breached the International Council of Nurses (ICN) Code of ethics for nurses (2012).
