FALL 2004..........NURS1110 - Nursing I (8 Credits)

Nursing 1110 introduces the student to Nursing as a profession, specifically to the role of Associate Degree Nurse (A.D.N.) and nurses' role within the wider health care team. The profession is described in terms of Nursing Role Delineation -- Provider of Care, Manager of Care and Member of the Discipline. The concepts of Caring, Critical Thinking and Accountability are presented as critical components in each of these roles. Neuman Systems Model is used to assist the student to conceptualize the client/nurse interaction. Major emphasis is on the nurse's role in primary prevention for the well client/client system--the well individual throughout the life span. Major client group is the elderly individual. This course introduces nursing intervention to support client system adaptation and movement toward a higher level of wellness in the presence of recurring environmental stressors. Prereqs or concurrent courses: BIOL 2021 and ENGL 1101. (CR 8, 4 lect, 4 lab, 0 other)

SPRING 2005 ........NURS1112 - Nursing II (8 Credits)

NURS 1112 builds on materials introduced in NURS 1110. Neuman Systems. Model, nursing role delineation, caring, critical thinking, and accountability are used as the basis for the course. This course further develops the concepts of primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary prevention. Environmental stressors used to illustrate the basic concepts center around the variations in health states in a variety of ages with special emphasis on the elderly, the transition from wellness to illness, therapies to treat illness, and family system development during the childbearing years. Prereqs and/or concurrent courses: NURS 1110, BIOL 2022, ENGL: 1105, PHIL 1130. (CR 8, 4 lect, 4 lab)

FALL 2005.......... NURS2201 - * Nursing III (8 Credits)

Integrates primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary nursing interventions used to support adaptation and movement toward a higher level of wellness, or a dignified death, for client systems. Such client systems may experience all levels of wellness and a variety of environmental stressors, both physical and/or psychological. In addition, special emphasis is placed on advanced physical assessment techniques for the normal adult, nursing care of medical-surgical clients and IV therapy administration. Neuman Systems Model, Nursing Role Delineation, Caring, Critical Thinking and Accountability continue to be used as a basis for the nursing care of the client system. Prereq or concurrent: BIOL2040, PSYC1105. (8Cr - 4 lect, 4 lab)

SPRING 2006.......... NURS2202 - * Nursing IV (8 Credits)

In addition, special emphasis is placed on physical assessment techniques for the normal adult, nursing care of medical-surgical clients, and IV therapy administration.
