Abstract
The main objective in nurse education is to develop student nurses’ competencies as they progress and transition to become registered nurses. Nursing programmes identify core competencies which include knowledge, clinical decision making, attitudes, and clinical skills that student nurses are expected to acquire by the time they finish their educational studies. Registered nurses are expected to perform the skill of venepuncture and peripheral intravenous cannulation, yet few countries ensure this clinical skill is a learning outcome of the undergraduate curriculum. As a result of this phenomenon, the training of these skills is often left until students become graduates and registered professionals. In Ireland, the Office of Nursing and Midwifery Service Directive (2020) updated the Undergraduate Nursing and Midwifery Curriculum to include the teaching of the clinical procedures, venepuncture, and peripheral intravenous cannulation. The aim of the work presented in this thesis was to develop, implement and evaluate a technology-driven pedagogical approach to teach and assess students on these skills. Aligning with the goal to ensure adequately prepared, highly skilled nurses who provide high quality, safe care to patients, the intended outcome of this study was to improve the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of student nurses in performing these specific skills.
