Prerequisites: BIO* K211, ENG* K101, PSY* K111. Co-requisites: BIO* K212, BIO* K235, PSY* K201. This computer-based WEB course offered by Charter Oak College is the first component offered to Licensed Practical Nurses who meet specific eligibility requirements for participation in the Connecticut Articulation Model for Nurse Educational Mobility. This theory course expands the breadth and depth of the common content from the Connecticut Practical Nurse Education Program and participating RN schools including Three Rivers. In addition, new theories, processes, and skills specific to registered nurse practice are introduced. This course is designed for the highly motivated adult learner seeking career mobility in nursing. Nursing program admission criteria must be met prior to registration in this course. Permission of the instructor is required for registration. Successful completion of this course and Nursing K122 will satisfy requirements for advanced placement credit for Nursing K115 and Nursing K116. Therefore, Nursing K121 cannot be applied as a free elective in the Three Rivers Plan of Study for the A.S. degree in Nursing.

Prerequisites: BIO* K211, ENG* K101, PSY* K111, MAT* K137, CHE* K111. Co-requisites: BIO* K212, BIO* K235, NSG* K121, PSY* K201. This course is the final component of the advanced placement option for Nursing K115 and Nursing K116 as specified by the Connecticut Articulation Model for Nurse Educational Mobility. This course expands the content of Nursing K121 to content that is specific to the Three Rivers Nursing curriculum, e.g. program philosophy, mission, conceptual framework, policies, evaluation process, and laboratory/clinical practice. Permission of the instructor is required for registration. Successful completion of this course and Nursing K121 will satisfy requirements for advanced placement credit for Nursing K115 and Nursing K116. Therefore, Nursing K122 cannot be applied as a free elective in the Three Rivers Plan of Study for the A.S. degree in Nursing. Candidates for advanced placement into NSG* K226 are ranked among all other candidates and are offered progression pending space available. .4 lecture hours and .6 laboratory hours.
