Transition to Specialty Practice Program (TSP)
TSP is offered across Epworth HealthCare for registered nurses either currently working in critical care areas, or for those who are interested in transitioning into ICU, ED or Cardiac specialties.
The TSP is offered post completion of the graduate nursing year and is a great step towards post graduate pathways. We can help you explore your interests and we will provide you with recognition of prior learning for one unit towards postgraduate studies.
The program is designed to develop your clinical knowledge, enhance skills and assessment and progress clinical decision making.
Nurses are given the opportunity to build confidence in identifying and managing deteriorating patients and offers the opportunity for you to produce a learning folio of work that is recognised by Deakin University and will provide you with recognition of prior learning for one unit of the postgraduate certificate course.
The program enhances your ability to deliver excellence in patient care within your chosen area and allows potential for career progression.
