Thesis Topic/Title:
Addressing the aged care nursing workforce shortage by tapping into student nurse potential.
Description
This research project addresses the aged care nursing workforce shortage and deficiencies of care and education highlighted by the Royal Commission into Aged Care Final Report: Care, Dignity and Respect (2021). The innovation inherent in this project is to tap into the underutilised workforce resource, student nurses as paid employees by supporting their preparation and mentorship to help address the identified nursing staff shortage and the associated variances of gerontology care knowledge and skills.
