NURE 208 - Advanced Acute and Chronic Nursing Concepts

Continuing with the framework of Patient Centered Care, Teamwork and Collaboration, Evidence-Based Practice, Quality Improvement, Safety, and Information Management, this course continues to deliver the knowledge, skills and attitude required for specific areas of nursing practice in order to deliver safe and appropriate care to adult and obstetrical patients in accordance with standards of professional nursing practice. Within the structure of the Nursing Process, principles of health and illness are integrated with knowledge of anatomy and physiology, pharmacology and leadership and management. Building upon the concepts from NURE 105, NURE 106, and NURE 207 students are introduced to concepts of women’s health, reproduction, and mother and child ante/intra/postpartum care. Students participate in clinical experiences in the Learning/Simulation Center, acute adult and obstetrical settings for the application of associated nursing principles.
