This course is the first in a series that utilizes a body-systems and lifespan approach to nursing care for individuals, focusing on primary and secondary prevention of prevalent health conditions through application of the nursing process. Acute care clinical experiences and high-fidelity clinical simulation focus on "thinking like a nurse" to care for individuals in the provider nursing role. Emphasis is placed on clinical informatics to access health information and evidence-based practice guidelines, effective nurse-client communication, accuracy and analysis of holistic health assessments, and safe application of fundamental nursing skills.
Beginning SP24, MATH155 is no longer a prerequisite.
