3.00 Credits
Provides theoretical foundation for health assessment, physical examination and clinical experiences for implementing knowledge in the practice setting. Assessment is stressed as a common foundation of knowledge and of many shared skills among health professionals and as the initial phase of the nursing process for collecting and analyzing data to identify potential and actual client problems both nursing focused and collaborative in nature. The CSUB Department of Nursing Conceptual Model as a basis for the approach to assessment is studied and applied. The basis for establishing a professional nurse-client relationship as a foundation for communication is examined. Clinical laboratory experiences in the methods and process of the assessment of adults are provided. Differentiation is made between various data bases-complete, episodic or problem-centered, follow-up, and emergency. Cultural and developmental considerations are included. Lecture/Discussion 2 units; Laboratory Practice 1 unit. Prerequisites: Admission to the Nursing Program. Co-requisites: NURS 241, and BIOL 355, PSYC 100.

4.00 Credits
Application of CSUB Department of Nursing Conceptual Model to the nursing process is continued. The nursing process as a method of providing nursing care and as related to the independent role of the nurse is studied. Major concepts such as pain, stress, loss and grief are studied. Principles of group dynamics, leadership, and ethical decision making are introduced. The theory and principles basic to the study of fundamental skills of nursing care are presented to correspond to the practical application of these in NURS 244. A component addresses geriatric nursing in addition to the care of the older adult. Prerequisites: PSYC 100, BIOL 355, NURS 241, NURS 242. Co-requisites: NURS 244, NURS 245, PSYC 210.

4.00 Credits
Basic skills related to the theory and principles taught in NURS 243 are demonstrated and practiced in laboratory simulations. Basic nursing skills, including communication and health assessment skills are applied in clinical practice situations in the process of providing care to adults. Utilizing the CSUB Department of Nursing philosophy and conceptual model of nursing, emphasis is placed on the beginning application of the nursing process. Students have the opportunity to engage in clinical experiences in implementing the nursing process in the care of young, middle aged and older adults in acute and geriatric care settings. Laboratory practice. Prerequisites: PSYC 100, NURS 241, NURS 242, BIOL 355. Co-requisites: NURS 243, NURS 245, PSYC 210.

3.00 Credits
Principles and concepts of pharmacologic intervention. A lecture/demonstration course integrating pharmacology, physiology and disease processes. Emphasis on providing the student with the information necessary to assess a patient's reaction to pharmacologic agents, anticipate appropriate intervention, and recognize common problems associated with drug therapy. Lecture 2 units; Laboratory 1 unit. Prerequisite: PSYC 100, NURS 241, NURS 242, BIOL 355; or permission of the instructor.

2.00 Credits
This class will focus on the study of fluids, electrolytes, and lab values. Case studies will be used to evaluate medical and surgical patients in the context of care. One component of this class will be a self directed program where the student will utilize a text for information and then self evaluate learning using a CD ROM for practice NCLEX testing with rationale and feedback. Another CD ROM series will provide an interactive program that discusses and reviews simulated medical/surgical cases. Students will learn from their responses as they test their decision making acumen. Faculty will guide the program, utilizing student's individual needs while students will be self directed for completion of class objectives and assignments. Prerequisites: NURS 243, NURS 244. Credit, no-credit.

2.00 Credits
A course of study to focus on the review of basic principles of pharmacology. The CSUB Conceptual Model is applied for maintaining physiological integrity. Emphasis in the review will be placed on knowledge and interventions of drugs in the physiological systems with maintenance of system stability. A CD ROM is included so that students will learn from their responses as they test their decision-making acumen. Faculty will guide the program, utilizing student's individual needs while students will be self directed for completion of class objectives and assignments. Prerequisites: NURS 243, NURS 244, NURS 245. Credit, no-credit. GRE

5.00 Credits
Focuses on the identification and treatment of common health problems of young, middle aged, and older adults and the promotion of wellness. Common illness conditions are studied in relation to altered physiological processes as a means to provide sound nursing interventions. The CSUB Department of Nursing Conceptual Model provides a basis for viewing problems as physiological, psychological, and sociocultural systems instabilities which influence functional health patterns. Critical thinking skills are applied to analysis of data for identifying nursing and collaborative problems. The nursing process is studied as an approach to re-establish systems stability/maximum functional status. Leadership and ethical decision making is introduced. Principles and concepts from the natural and behavioral sciences are used to discuss the application of the nursing process. Prerequisites: NURS 243, NURS 244, NURS 245, PSYC 210, BIOL 355. Co-requisites: NURS 252, BIOL 370, SOC 100 or ANTH 100.

Biological and psychosocial theories are utilized in the development of the nursing process. Emphasis is placed on nursing interventions directed toward the promotion of system stability/maximum functional status and evaluation of the results of interventions. Clinical experiences for implementing the nursing process in the care of young, middle-aged, and older adults with common illness conditions are provided. Acute care and geriatric care settings are utilized. Critical analysis of patient data and responses to nursing intervention are emphasized. Laboratory Practice. Prerequisites: NURS 243, NURS 244, NURS 245, BIOL 355, PSYC 210. Co-requisites: NURS 251, BIOL 370, SOC 100 or ANTH 100.

5.00 Credits
Significant concepts, such as person, family, group, community, environment, cultural diversity, health, and interpersonal communication that form the theoretical framework essential for providing effective nursing care, are introduced. The evolution of the health care system, including role and accountability of health care providers, is examined. Historical events, current trends, legal, ethical, social, and political issues influencing nursing are examined within social-cultural contexts. A comparison is made between technical and professional nursing and nursing education with relevance to the professional nurse's roles (clinician, researcher, educator, and leader). Various philosophies, theories and conceptual models of nursing are examined. Components of the nursing process are introduced. The CSUB Department of Nursing philosophy and conceptual model of nursing, as the basis of the nursing process and as a means of maintaining physiological, psychological, and sociocultural integrity is studied and applied. Major concepts such as pain, stress, loss and grief are studied.
