NUR 236 Transition Course for Advanced Placement Students Credits: (2)
This course allows the LPN with prior nursing credits to consolidate and refine previously learned theory and skills while emphasizing the underlying rationale and principles. It may also be offered to transfer nursing students upon faculty approval. Under the instructor’s guidance in a nursing skills lab setting, the principles of the nursing process are applied. Opportunities are provided for the returning student to reduce the stress of re-entering school, to positively reinforce gained knowledge, and to form support groups by focusing on the skills needed for interpersonal relationships. Appropriate clinical placement will be determined at the end of this experience. Students will spend 56 hours in introductory nursing activities; in addition, students will be expected to spend substantial time preparing for each session. Prerequisite(s): Matriculation in Nursing, permission of department; LPN License or transfer equivalent of first semester per Registered Nurse program; Co-requisite(s): completed and current health form on file, current CPR certification, malpractice insurance, and required performance skills.
