A Teaching project to give the medical-surgical nursing clinical practicum convergent to the european space for higher education

El objetivo de este artículo es realizar un análisis de la legislación actual y la repercusión del cambio ya iniciado en algunas titulaciones como es el caso de Enfermería en el marco académico de la Educación Superior, reforma importante del Sistema Universitario Español. Para ello se revisa el contenido y análisis de la documentación publicada en el Ministerio de Educación relativa a Educación Superior; la legislación vigente española y la legislación Comunitaria con objeto de aproximar la legislación al marco de los estudios de enfermería.Nowadays the number of nursing schools including in their study plans the Practicum subjects are increasing. These subjects are devoted to clinical practice and the majority of practical credits belonging to clinical subjects are concentrated on them. The reasons for it are that these subjects link the learning methodology proposed by the European Space for Higher Education. In the present work, which is a continuation of a previous one published in this journal, we propose a Teaching Project to give the Medical-Surgical Nursing clinical practicum of the study plans for the Registered Nursing degree. Following the same structure of our previous work, we propose a methodology based on the teaching of competences. The program and the system of credits are in line with the ancient Law of University Reform but they are also compatible with convergent method of the European Space for Higher Education. In the same way, we chose this subject on the grounds of its high credit load on the current study plans (being clinical the majority of them). All this make that steps to achieve convergence for this subject could be used for other nursing subject
