This course is taken concurrently with NUR 222. The course is designed to allow the students to apply the nursing process in the care of clients with an acute illness or undergoing a surgical procedure. The nursing process will serve as the guiding framework to assess, diagnose, plan, treat, and evaluate individual responses to common physical, psychological, and social elements of the environment. Students will spend six (6) hours week on an assigned clinical unit under the supervision of nurse technicians and clinicians. Ward conferences will be organized to discuss the students’ clinical experiences and procedures. Demonstrations with return demonstration of selected nursing skills will be included in the course.
