See Student Handbook for more information.

This course is designed to assist the student in the transition from licensed practical nurse to registered nurse.

The concepts of critical thinking, nursing process, therapeutic interventions, communication, teaching-learning,  accountability and leadership are examined within the roles and responsibilities of the registered nurse. Laboratory and clinical experiences provide the student with opportunities to review and demonstrate competence in previously  learned skills, as well as to expand assessment, IV therapy and other skills to assist clients to reach optimum self-care. The importance  of recognition of cultural differences and nutrition is stressed throughout the course as well as the student’s philosophy of nursing. An  overview of fluids and electrolytes is included as a component of the IV therapy skills acquisition.
