NURS 171 - Transitions


5 hrs (Sem II, Summer)
The curriculum theory base is introduced, as is the role of the Associate Degree nurse. The nursing process is reviewed, with emphasis on the RN role. Core content from the first year ADN program is covered; a pretest determines depth of content coverage. The laboratory provides returning students the opportunity to update those skills that may not have been a part of their recent clinical practice. Several advanced skills are introduced, and an orientation to the clinical agencies is included. Upon completion of NURS 171 with a grade of C or better, students will receive advanced placement credit in NURS 170 . 4 lecture hours, 3 laboratory hours.
