dc.description.abstractThe understanding and the ability of nurses applying law to their practice is an important responsibility when educating Registered Nurses. The serious ramifications of poor nursing practice, and the associated legal actions that can result, are concerning to all the profession. The aim of this research was to discover how law was taught, learnt and understood at the undergraduate Bachelor of Nursing level and how new Registered Nurses used their law knowledge in their professional practice - thus addressing a research deficit in this area. The research was divided into three projects and a meta-analysis. The purpose of project 1 was to uncover the relevant literature and frame the questions of the research. Project 2 investigated how the profession's competency regarding law was interpreted into curriculum, what undergraduate students and graduates in their first year of practice perceived they learnt from that curriculum and what both groups actually learnt. Project 3 examined how new Registered Nurses applied their knowledge of law and demonstrated this competency within their clinical practice. Glatthorn's shades of curriculum were used as the conceptial framework to analyse one case-study in depth - the University of South Australia's Bachelor of Nursing curriculum.
