Areas of teaching Maureen teaches in all research units of study in the Bachelor of Nursing, Bachelor of Nursing (Honours), Master of Nursing (Graduate Entry), Master of Nursing Graduate Diploma in Midwifery and Master of Midwifery courses. The courses are a blend of quantitative and qualitative approaches to research design and application to nursing/midwifery practice. One graduate unit of study specifically focuses on clinical qualitative research methods and the issues related to conducting this type of research. Maureen has primary responsibility for the development of the midwifery curriculum and its implementation in the Graduate Diploma of Midwifery. This one academic year course is conducted in conjunction with clinical facilities at which students complete a 52 week contract working at 0.4FTE. Upon completion of this course students are eligible to register as a midwife with the Nurses and Midwives Board of NSW. |
