Nursing Fundamentals Clinical

Catalog description

This course allows you to explore theory and concepts presented in the Nursing Fundamentals course. NU140CL introduces you to the application of skills learned in the didactic portion of the course. You will apply basic nursing skills and the assessment techniques used to interpret and communicate normal findings and common deviations from normal in laboratory, simulation, and clinical settings. You will begin preparing for basic nursing care for clients across the life span by identifying pathophysiological processes and nursing problems, and the appropriate interventions to address patients' current health status. You will outline introductory documentation skills findings and integrate therapeutic communication techniques with patients and members of the interprofessional team while formulating their clinical judgement abilities. You must successfully complete all requirements of both didactic and clinical courses. Failure of one course will lead to a repeat of both the didactic and clinical courses.
