What Exactly Is Nursing Fundamentals

[blueyesue]

Hello. I am taking nursing fundamentals and Advanced A&P next semester. I believe Nursing Fundamentals has to do with nursing history and theory. However, I am not sure what else it is about and what to expect in this class. Our school lets us take this class a semester before you enter the program. (I'm entering Fall 2011) Can anyone let me know what this class is about and what to expect? Thanks so much. :)

I just completed NF this Fall. I treated the class as an online course. I read the chapters and took the online quizzes repeatedly and passed with a B average. Over 30 students failed the class for various reasons. Read the chapters and take as much practice exams as you can and you will make an A. Good luck

"Calculate With Confidence" is a great med math book... Just figure our which way you want to solve your problems - deminsional analysis, ratio /proportion, etc. (its all in the book).. and practice practice practice practice

Yes is teaches the nursing theory and history of nursing, they also have you learning medical terminology and math calculations. from when I did it. you may have a mini project to choose a health problem and discuss it in class (ex talking about diabetes, or high cholesterol).

We did that exact thing. We made a brochure on the condition, presented it and wrote different types of care plans for it (teaching, self-concept, etc)
