NSG 2530 — Essentials of Nurse Practice for the Prelicensure BSN
Hold-Provides opportunities to incorporate the nursing process in the care of adult and pediatric patients. Characteristics of the adult individual are studied with a focus on common health problems that include the human need for physiological safety (neurosensory/eye/ear). The pediatric individual is studied with a focus on common health problems that include the human needs for oxygenation, nutrition, elimination, physiological safety, activity/mobility, and communication/cognition. Topics related to individual emergencies, trauma, bio-terrorism, and disaster nursing are discussed. Emphasis is placed on collaboration, leadership, management, and delegation as the student prepares to transition into practice. The student builds upon previously acquired knowledge from general education and applied general education coursework. Clinical experiences are provided for students in a variety of structured settings to practice safe and competent nursing care. This capstone course concludes with a role-transition experience. NSG2530 uses the Nursing "C" grade policy.
