3.00 Credits
(Prerequisite: NURS B202 or PUBH B315) Exploration of spirituality, its effect on health, and health professionals roles in the spiritual care of clients.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisite: Acceptance to the Pre-licensure or RN to BSN Program or consent of Instructor). Building on prior science courses, this course advances knowledge of pathophysiology by analyzing the molecular, cellular and organ system changes that occur with common diseases, noting their impact on total body function and homeostasis. Focus is on the mechanisms of underlying diseases needed to deliver preventive and therapeutic health care interventions.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisite: Acceptance to the Pre-licensure program, RN licensure or consent of instructor) Students will conduct a systematic patient examination to determine the health, health risk, and health alterations from disease conditions. The focus is on adults with normal physiologic variation and extends to include age, gender, and socio-cultural variants. Using assessment findings students will derive clinical problem statements, determine risk reduction strategies, and align assessment findings with laboratory and other diagnostic results to create a comprehensive health profile.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisite: NURS B310 or consent of instructor) Pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and pharmacogenetics are studied from a drug classification typology. The nurse's role in verifying and validating drug prescriptions, calculating dosages, administering will build previous learning. Assisting patients with the management of side effects, drug discontinuation, and iatrogenic complications are studied. Current issues with poly-pharmaceuticals, addiction, and self-management with over-the-counter and herbal usage will be discussed from an evidence- and ethically-based practice perspective.
-
3.00 Credits
"(Prerequisite: NURS B202 or NURS B301) This course introduces nursing informatics and patient care technologies utilized in healthcare settings. Students explore informatics and technology from identification, retrieval, processing, evaluation, and management of healthcare technology and information systems intended to improve patient outcomes and reduce risk of harm. Legal and ethical considerations related to these technologies are examined. Emphasis is placed on selected technologies and evaluating how they impact nursing practice and influence quality and safety across the continuum of care. Basic computer literacy is a pre-requisite to support success.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisite: NURS B202, B202C, B310 and B312) Nursing management of adult and older adult patients with acute and chronic conditions is introduced. Students will synthesize previous courses to link nursing concepts, physical examination and pharmacology as part of the care management plan. As disease processes by body system are examined in greater depth, students will study disease staging, complex therapeutics and technology usage, and anticipatory complications. Stigma, ethics, and discharge from one setting to another across the care continuum are presented as advanced challenges to intervention and outcome management.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisites: NURS B202, B202C, B312. Corequisite: NURS B320 & B326) Students will be exposed to adults and older adults with acute and chronic conditions. Clinical experiences will focus on the application of knowledge and skills related to the care of an adult patient. Emphasis will be placed on applying the nursing process to manage care, setting clinical priorities and using technology to anticipate patient needs as a member of interprofessional teams.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisite: PSYC B101 or SOCY B101 or consent of instructor) This course focuses on the health practices of individual, family and communities with varied cultural, socioeconomic, and global backgrounds. Cultural variables such as age, gender, ethnicity, family structure, spiritual practice and religion, sexual expression, economics, and common health practices are examined to sensitize providers to person-centered care. Cultural practices in birth, health, pain management, natural healing practices, illness and death are explained and reinforced.
-
3.00 Credits
{§THEA B341} (Prerequisite: SOCY B101 or PSYC B101) The class aims to train students to act as Simulated Participants (SP) in the Nursing Simulation lab as patients and supporting roles (such as patient family members) in dynamic, realistic simulated healthcare experiences. These experiences help train future nurses in a lifelike way.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisite: STAT B201 and NURS B202 or RN Licensure or consent of Instructor) The science of nursing is presented exploring how research builds the nursing profession. The research process, from question to study design and analysis, and onto field-based implementation is contrasted. Students are exposed to multiple studies sufficient to inform evidence-based practice and discern good from bad science. Discussion of institutional databases available to inform quality improvement and organizational policy is explained. Ethical concerns and the mitigation of research risks are considered.
