Exploration of evidence-informed practice, scope of practice for practical nurses, and critical thinking. Focus is on incorporating the nursing process and nursing values into care for an individual with chronic illness.

Development of mathematics for practical nursing practice. Focus is on calculating dosages for medication administration for clients across the lifespan.

Introduction to the structure, organization, and functions of the human body.

This study involves investigating the impact of drugs on the human body, encompassing their therapeutic effects, side effects, adverse reactions, and potential interactions with other drugs. It also delves into familiar drug classifications and specific medications, including herbal preparations, within each classification.

Introduction to practical nursing practice. Focus is on nursing care of adult clients and their families in a continuing care facility.

Introduction to concepts, theories, and practices of community health nursing. Focus is on health promotion strategies for communities as client.

The course explores selected episodic and chronic health alterations and the related pharmacological concepts. The focus is on applying foundational knowledge of pathophysiology and pharmacology to evidence-informed nursing practice.

This practicum in acute care settings develops beginning knowledge, skills, and abilities to provide safe ethical patient care for adults with episodic and chronic health challenges. Intentional clinical learning activities integrate evidence-informed knowledge from NS2200 and NS2160. The focus is on assessment, clinical reasoning, care planning, and documentation in paper and digital formats.

This acute care practicum builds on the concepts and intentional clinical learning from NS2210 and NS2250. The focus is on integrating prior learning to move towards providing comprehensive patient and family centered care and socialization to the role of the nurse in an acute care setting.

The course provides opportunities for participants to integrate, consolidate, and expand concepts from previous learning to advance their professional nursing practice. Participants have the opportunity to consolidate learning and advance their clinical decision-making in a variety of acute care settings.

This course provides opportunities to explore emerging technologies. Emphasis is placed on identifying, researching, and presenting current technological topics for class consideration and discussion. Upon completion, students will be able to understand the importance of keeping abreast of technological changes that affect the office professional.

This course provides an opportunity for the student to work in a supervised office environment and apply skills and knowledge learned in the program. A minimum of 135 hours of office practicum, over one semester, is required. Students will complete an orientation to office information systems prior to the practicum. Students will work full or part-time shifts in a professional office with an experienced office manager. The office manager will act as supervisor and the student will follow the supervisor's work rotation.

This course utilizes hands-on learning that provides students an authentic learning experience putting into practice the skills needed to succeed in an office environment. This course integrates a wide variety of skills and knowledge through practical work experiences in a simulated office environment. Teamwork as well as the use of technical and communication skills will be emphasized with a major group project for which class time is allotted.

The topics include: linear and two dimensional velocity, acceleration, forces; vector versus scalar quantities from mathematical and graphical perspectives; Newton's three laws of motion; equilibrium forces, incline planes; centripetal force and acceleration, Kepler's three laws of planetary motion, Newton's law of gravity; work, power kinetic, gravitational potential and conservation of energy; transverse and longitudinal waves and interference of waves, resonance and Doppler effect.

The major concepts to be covered in this course include: momentum and impulse; electric forces and fields; current electricity; magnetic forces and fields; electromagnetic radiation (light); and atomic physics. Problem solving is highly emphasized throughout the course.

Algebra based course primarily for students in life, environmental, and medical sciences. It guides the student through two distinct types of motion: motion of matter (particles) and wave motion. Vectors, forces, bodies of equilibrium, review of kinematics and basic dynamics; conservation of momentum and energy; circular motion; vibrations; elastic waves in matter; sound; wave optics; black body radiation, photons; de Broglie waves. Examples relevant in environmental, life and medical sciences will be emphasized.

Geometrical optics, optical instruments, oscillations, waves, sound, interference, diffraction.

Kinematics and dynamics of particles; gravitation; work and energy; linear momentum; angular momentum; systems of particles; introduction to dynamics of rigid bodies.

Introductory study of human anatomy. Students learn structural and functional components of selected systems of the human body.

The course will introduce students to the concepts of validity and reliability as they apply to quantitative research, measurement and evaluation in physical education, sport, exercise science and leisure contexts. The course will focus primarily upon inferential statistical procedures that are used to organize, summarize and interpret information.
