Maternal-Child Nursing

Catalog description

Builds upon the foundation acquired in NURN 110, NURN 130, and NURN 200. Uses the nursing process, Orem's model of self-care, and a developmental approach to build upon principles of humanity, health and environment as they affect nursing care of women, infants and children. Emphasis is placed on health teaching and providing care to obstetrical, newborn, and pediatric patients with complex problems, from the prenatal period through adolescence. Clinical experiences are provided in a structured multicultural medical center with a parent-child focus. Other learning experiences will occur in the classroom with assigned activities in the computer and skills lab.
