This course introduces the experienced healthcare worker to the functional and professional roles of the registered nurse. The course provides a study of the information, skills, and evidenced-based practices used to care for patients with homeostatic imbalances that affect biological systems and human dimensions. Clinical focus is on the development of the nurse-patient relationship, and mastery of skills for care of adults in acute care settings and the elderly in long-term care facilities. Clinical hours are completed through a blend of on-campus activities and off-site clinical experiences in healthcare settings, which may include hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and community health organizations.
