:p I am extremly excited!:) I will be starting my nursing classes in the fall and have a question about one of the classes I am going to be taking. The course is call Nursing Process I and I will be taking the second part (Nursing Processes II) in the spring. I read the course description but am still not sure exactly what I will be doing in this class. I was not aware that this class was considered a clinical until I got a letter in the mail informing that I need to prepare for this class by purchasing my uniforms and a nurses kit. I have not yet registered and will not unitl the first wk in August because the advisor that I have been assign to will be off camup for the duration of the summer. I want to know have any other students had to take a course that may be similar to this and what did you do in this class. I would really like to start to read material throughout the summer to get a head start. Thanks in advance.

Hi there! I'm actually starting my program this fall as well and I'm gonna be taking a course called Nursing Practice I which seems similar to yours, I am in Canada. I heard that you learn basic nursing and assessment skills. First semester we do all this in the nursing lab....second semester we have Nursing Practice II and that is when we get into a hospital setting. hehehe sorry i know this prolly wont clear up much for u seen as i'm in the same shoes as u and just starting :)

Call the nursing department in you school and ask them about the class or look in the school catalog for a desription of the class, or look at the school web site for a description. You can also talk to someone in admissions about it they usually know about the classes good luck

Hi there, this sounds similar to how my school is set up. Essentially it is a diploma program (hospital based) and we have six semesters. In each semester we have the full time class load but its really only one course, with 2 professors, and classwork and clinical work.

For example, I just finished Nursing 200 and that encompassed:

History of nursing

communication

nursing theory

growth and development

ethics

legal

vital signs

nursing history/medical history

physical assessment - Head to Toe

Journal articles (review and integration)

Cultural issues

Several chapters of dimensional analysis (math)

Several chapters of medical terminology

So, it is all encompassing.

The next course, starting July 6th, is Mother/Baby. :):p

Hi... that's the same thing my schedule said when I started. It was just the wording for the class, and it included the lectures, as any class has, as well as lab, clinical, etc... they just called it Nursing Process, which now that I think about it, is maybe because it explains the beginnings, the way nursing is done? Good luck, you will love it!

YES! I am!!! How funny! Now I have to remember what you wrote! This is me- I took Nurs Process 1 last fall, then I went out of sequence and and took just micro and human growth in the spring, and am taking NURS 120 in the fall, all prereq's out of the way now. Very glad of that. Do you have all your prereqs done?

i only have to take my a&p's!

i am beginning my nursing classes this semester. i am doing the 2 year full time day "plan".

how many of us are there? i was looking at the graduation pictures in the one hall and there weren't many.

i am so excited about finally starting my nursing classes, i could just burst!

how do the clinicals work? all i was told is that we do clinicals all over syracuse.

are nursing processes I and II all done in LTC facilities?

thanks!! :p

Hi... that is SO exciting, I remember how very excited I was too.. wait till orientation, you will be even more so! That's great that you only have those 2 classes left, will you take any summer classes? I started out doing part time nights cause I worked ft, but I have since left my job so I too will be going during the day, although I will be in 120, not 110 like you will be in. I'm not sure the enrollment numbers, but I do know that the classes are basically full, and they do have wait lists... Don't worry about not being prepared, there really isn't much you can be doing over the summer- they go at a good pace in the fall, especially in 110 since many people, myself included, do not come from medical backgrounds. Are you taking at least a&p 1 this fall? You will definetely want to get those out of the way, cause you will need to know that info... I guess the only thing I wished I knew beforehand, was some of the terminology, since a lot of my classmates worked in the field before school... and I did but a blood pressure kit, because I wanted more practice at home. Good luck with everything, and feel free to email me anytime!!
