Pediatric Nursing Clinical

Catalog description

This course assists you to explore various pediatric developmental states and provide competent care of pediatric patients and their families who are experiencing normal development and alterations in body systems. You will calculate appropriate dosages of common pediatric medications. This course builds upon knowledge gained in previous nursing courses to apply to a specific population (infancy to adolescents). Course content is organized by the nursing process to achieve best practice outcomes and interventions for pediatric patients and their families experiencing bio/psycho/social/cultural and spiritual needs. You must successfully meet all requirements of both the didactic and clinical courses. Failure of one course will lead to a repeat of both the didactic and clinical courses.
