Description
Nursing III builds on the knowledge and skills acquired in Nursing II. In this course students focus on application of the nursing process to provide all levels of prevention to the childbearing family and to diverse clients and their support systems for whom commonly occurring responses to stressors are having an impact on the ability to meet the needs for nutrition, elimination, sexuality, physiological and psychological safety, self-esteem, and/or love and belonging. Through clinical experiences, students learn new nursing skills, including those related to the childbearing family. Students provide nursing care in community, psychiatric, and acute and extended care facilities. (4 hours of class and 15 hours of clinical lab per week.)
