FuturePsychNP Apr 12, 2013 Can anyone tell me the basics of what you learn in Nursing 1100 and 1101?Thanks! :)You do realize that colleges can assign whatever they want as a course number... Tell us the name of the course, and we can probably help better, mam. 0 Likes
doxielover304 Apr 12, 2013 Yeah I know... I was assuming most 1100 and 1101 classes were all mostly the same though. Sorry.I think its literally "introduction to nursing" and "fundamentals" 0 Likes

FuturePsychNP Apr 12, 2013 Oh foundations. Hmmm most boring class ever after grad school's nursing theory. Documentation, communication, legal, ethics, nursing process, cultural sensitivity, peeing, pooping (nursing is big on pooping consistently), sleeping, minimal wound stuff, mobility, cleaning patients up, making beds, vital signs... That was a six hour class I think, and I had pharmacology, health assessment, and geriatrics that semester too which I think were three hours a piece. In other programs I'd suspect foundations has some assessment and med stuff in it too. 0 Likes
