Sepsis is a medical emergency. It is also one of the most survivable emergencies in healthcare — but only when it is recognised early and treated fast. This module trains the skill at the heart of that: knowing how to think "could this be sepsis?" and what to do in the first, decisive hour.
Learning outcomes:
A comprehensive, interactive programme across the perinatal continuum — combining Fetal Monitoring and Maternity Crisis Management for midwives and doctors. It builds detailed understanding of fetal surveillance and the structured response to obstetric emergencies, anchored to RANZCOG guidance.
Stream 1 · Fetal Monitoring
- Fetal physiology
- Antenatal CTG
- Intrapartum cardiotocography
- CTG simulation lab (interactive cases)
- Cord blood gas
- Errors & limitations in fetal monitoring
- Intrapartum intermittent auscultation
Stream 2 · Maternity Crisis Management
- Shoulder dystocia
- Breech
- Postpartum haemorrhage
- Maternal collapse
- Pre-eclampsia & eclampsia
- Uterine rupture
- Cord presentation & prolapse
- Antepartum haemorrhage
Diabetes touches almost every area of nursing. This module builds the everyday skills: monitoring blood glucose and interpreting it, giving insulin safely, recognising and managing highs and lows fast, and helping people manage a lifelong condition well.
Learning outcomes
Module overview
Vital signs are the most basic — and most powerful — data in nursing. Measured accurately and interpreted in context, they reveal how a patient is doing and when something is changing. This module sharpens both the measuring and the thinking.
Learning outcomes
1 Explain why accurate vital signs and a baseline matter.
2 State the normal adult ranges and what each vital sign tells you.
3 Measure each vital sign accurately and avoid common errors.
4 Perform a structured baseline clinical assessment of the whole patient.
5 Interpret findings against trends and baseline, and act on abnormalities.
How this module works
Use Next or the chips above. The vital-signs interpreter is interactive — set values and see how each reads. Knowledge checks are for your learning and are not graded; your formal assessment (quiz + reflective practice) is separate.
A note on scope
Foundational education for internationally qualified nurses. Normal ranges are typical adult values for guidance — children, pregnancy and some conditions differ, and your facility's observation chart defines local thresholds. Always follow local policy and your scope of practice.
What this programme is
Three live sessions of two hours, on consecutive Wednesdays. Six hours of theory in total, covering the clinical reasoning that sits underneath all thirty-nine stations in the OSCE library.
This is not a procedure course. You already know how to nurse. What the OSCE assesses is whether you can nurse the Australian way — reasoning out loud, within Australian scope, against the Registered Nurse Standards for Practice at the level of a nurse entering the profession. That is a different skill from the one most internationally qualified nurses arrive with, and it is the skill this programme builds.
How the three weeks are structured
- Week 1 — Foundations. Scope of practice, delegation and accountability, the ten behaviours present in every station, communication and consent, documentation and ISOBAR handover. Six stations sit here.
- Week 2 — Assess, interpret, escalate. Measurement you can defend, structured assessment and validated risk tools, the nursing care plan, track-and-trigger escalation, and basic life support. Thirteen stations sit here — the largest family in the exam.
- Week 3 — Intervene safely. Twenty stations built on two principles: medication safety across every route, and aseptic non-touch technique. Plus safe movement and closing the episode of care.
What's included
- Three live two-hour facilitated sessions
- Station video library covering all thirty-nine stations
- Fillable learner workbooks for each week, with model answers
- Scenario workbooks for live session preparation
- A running question board, with written answers to anything unresolved
- Unlimited laboratory repetition for hands-on skills practice
Who it's for
Internationally qualified registered nurses and midwives preparing for the OSCE stage of the NMBA Outcomes-Based Assessment pathway to AHPRA registration.
What you'll be able to do
Run the universal opening and closing sequence without thinking about it. Apply the NMBA decision-making framework aloud. Delegate correctly while retaining accountability. State reference ranges and escalation thresholds without looking them up. Convert assessment findings into a care plan with measurable goals. Escalate on your own authority. Identify key parts and key sites in a procedure you have never rehearsed.
