Prerequisite: NURS 110; NURS 111; NURS 112; NURS 113. Corequisite: NURS 123, NURS 125. This course builds on theory, skills and clinical applications learned in first semester. Tactile skills essential to safe nursing practice will be demonstrated in the nursing skills laboratory. Students will have the opportunity for supervised and individual practice followed by skills check-off by the instructor. Skills will be part of the demonstration. Additional materials fee applies.

Prerequisites: NURS 110, NURS 111, NURS 112, NURS 113. Corequisite(s): NURS 121, NURS 123. This course is designed to integrate previous science and nursing course theory. This course provides theoretical perspective, science-based knowledge and principles needed by students to guide their application of the nursing process and choice of nursing interventions for individuals with common physiological alterations. Professional, legal and ethical issues are explored. Through utilization of development theories (primarily Erickson) and the Roy Adaptation Model, this course focuses on the nursing role as communicator, provider of care, and client teacher for individuals experiencing adaptation problems across the lifespan in the physiologic mode, psychologic mode, and selected adaptation problems for persons with common and/or chronic medical and/or surgical conditions related to surgery, respiratory system, reproductive system, and integumentary system. Maternal nursing care is presented, including antenatal, intrapartal and postpartum normal and abnormal adaptation. Normal and high-risk neonatal care are examined. Components of infusion therapy will also be discussed. Variations in nursing care for individuals of different socio-economic and cultural backgrounds will be considered. This course involves clinical application of both theoretical concepts taught in Nursing Process I and II and tactile skills taught in Nursing Skills Laboratory I and II. All aspects of the nursing process will be applied to client situations. (CSU) (Replaces NURS 120 and NURS 122)

Prerequisites: NURS 121, NURS 125, NURS 123, all with a grade of "C" or better. Corequisite(s): NURS 231, NURS 211, NURS 225. This course provides the theoretical principles and science-based knowledge for the application of the nursing process to the care of clients with existing and potential pathophysiology and psychopathological adaptational problems relating to mental health and the individual's response to stressors and crises. Utilization of the nursing process via the Roy Adaption Model focuses the course on the role of a nurse as a communicator, care plan developer, provider of care, and educator for clients experiencing psychiatric or mental health problems. Throughout the course, cultural, social, age related, legal and ethical attitudes toward behaviors which deviate from accepted norms are discussed. The promotion of mental health through primary prevention, intervention in maladaptive disorders, and rehabilitation of chronic disorders is presented in concurrent classroom and clinical settings.
