NURS 300 - Foundations of Nursing

Credits 3
This course introduces classic nursing principles that underpin future clinical practice. Principles include such things as comfort measures, assistance with daily living activities, environmental concerns, positioning and transporting, asepsis and sterile technique, medication administration, intrusive therapies, and use of the nursing process with particular emphasis on the intervention component. Although this course provides the theoretical information through lectures, a complementary laboratory course teaches hands-on skills through a practicum format. Concepts related to nursing fundamentals and nursing care are integrated throughout the course.
