Get up to date on the latest palliative care techniques and become a Home Hospitalization nurse capable of providing the best care to oncology patients"

For several years, home hospitalization has been modernized based on much more comprehensive care protocols. In these protocols, the nursing professional must take on challenges such as the inclusion of more sophisticated medical technologies to provide care to patients in a post-surgical state, with a severe oncological clinical case or who require terminal care due to their advanced age. Based on the main advances in this discipline, professionals have been able to optimize resources and increase the satisfaction of individuals admitted at home. Paradoxically, most nurses are not up to date with the most advanced clinical practice guidelines for home care. This is due, among other reasons, to the lack of programs in the educational market that address the main applications of these advances.

Based on this scenario, TECH has developed an educational modality, pioneer in its kind, which consists of two distinct stages. Therefore, the Hybrid professional master’s degree in Home Hospitalization for Nursing first integrates a theoretical stage. Throughout this period, the student will spend 1,500 hours mastering concepts and work protocols from a 100% online and interactive learning platform. This will be supported by Relearning, a teaching methodology that enhances the assimilation of content in a fast and flexible way. In addition, at this academic moment, the program will not be subject to pre-established schedules or timetables. In this way, students will be able to self-manage their progress and update their skills on an individual basis.

The second part of this program includes a first level clinical internship, under the guarantee of a hospital of the highest prestige. This intensive on-site internship will last 120 hours, distributed in consecutive days from Monday to Friday for a total of 3 weeks. During this stage, each nurse will have access to and will learn how to handle state-of-the-art technologies, for the benefit of real patients who require specific care in the area of Home Hospitalization. During this immersive learning moment, graduates will work with leading experts who will help them clarify doubts about procedures and techniques. At the same time, an assistant tutor will be in charge of including dynamic tasks that will help the educational updating process.

Update your nursing skills for the nutritional assessment of hospitalized patients at home through this complete Hybrid professional master’s degree"

This Hybrid professional master’s degree in Home Hospitalization for Nursing contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• Development of more than 100 clinical cases presented by nursing professionals with expertise in Home Hospitalization
• Its graphic, schematic and practical contents provide scientific and assistance information on those medical disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Presentation of practical workshops on procedures, diagnosis, and treatment techniques in critical patients
• An algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the clinical situations presented throughout the course
• Practical clinical guides on approaching different pathologies
• All of this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection
• Furthermore, you will be able to carry out a clinical internship in one of the best hospital centers

In 3 weeks of on-site, intensive and immersive learning, you will achieve professional excellence by implementing the most modern practical guidelines for the care of patients in their homes”

In this Hybrid professional master’s degree, with a vocational nature and blended learning modality, the program is aimed at updating nursing professionals who demand a high level of qualification. The content is based on the latest scientific evidence and is organized in a didactic way to integrate theoretical knowledge into nursing practice. The theoretical-practical elements allow professionals to update their knowledge and help them to make the right decisions in patient care.

Thanks to the multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, nursing professionals will benefit from situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive learning programmed to train in real situations. This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise throughout the program. For this purpose, the students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

Throughout the 1,500 theoretical hours of this program, you will analyze the most recent concepts and work strategies for the Nursing field that are applied in the home care of pediatric patients"

Don't miss this opportunity and enroll in the best program in the educational market where TECH offers to expand your knowledge of Home Nursing through a rigorous and intensive practical internship"

The syllabus of this program has several teaching modules that cover the main advances in the field of Home Hospitalization for Nursing. The program delves into the main techniques for the management of infections and other pathologies at home. It also assesses the latest preventive medicine protocols to be applied by the nurse in patients admitted at home. In addition, it will examine the control strategies in case of facing special patients such as oncology patients, pediatric patients, among others. The entire program will be supported by theoretical materials on these aspects and methodologies of great teaching value such as Relearning.

100% online and without fixed schedules: this is how you will be able to study this Hybrid professional master’s degree with which TECH intends to take you to the forefront of the Nursing practice"
