NRSG 244 Nursing Across the Lifespan III
This course is the final course in this three courses series focused on evidence-based, patient-centered nursing care for patients throughout the life cycle. This course provides ASN students with opportunities to develop increasing levels of autonomy in the coordination of care for patient with complex health conditions of the cardiovascular and/or neurological systems. Learning experiences within the classroom, simulation center, and direct patient care settings will engage students in patient care situations that require the student to synthesize knowledge from previous nursing courses, supportive courses, and evidence-based scholarly materials. Emphasis is placed on principles of care management including clinical judgement, priority setting, patient safety, collaboration, delegation, and time management.
