I chose the MSc in Palliative Nursing to enhance my nursing knowledge and develop my critical thinking skills. Friends and colleagues of mine had previously studied at UL and had highly recommended the course.
When I initially looked at the prospectus on MSc in Palliative Nursing, I was a little apprehensive. It appeared there was a lot of time commitment to complete the course. However, it is doable, it is achievable. It just takes time and scheduling, and a commitment to work/life balance to complete it. What I found most useful was the support of the library. My advice is to engage with them early during your time at UL. It has a very good writing centre and online database to help you resource the information that you need.
All modules were relevant to my work in one form or another. One module that stands out in particular is the quality module which helped me use evidence based practice in developing a policy with regard to patient safety in the palliative unit.
I would highly recommend the course.
