Nursing of Adults I is taught in the second semester of the first year of the nursing program, spring offering only.

This is accomplished through an interdependent relationship with theoretical and clinical faculty and staff. The course extends and refines the cognitive, psychomotor and affective skills acquired in Foundations of Nursing.

The course objectives assist the student to integrate the roles of the nurse as provider of care, manager of care and member of the profession of nursing. This is accomplished through competencies reflective of holistic human needs, critical thinking, collaboration, therapeutic interventions, growth and development, teaching and learning principles, clinical practice standards, community based care, health care systems, current trends, communication, ethical behaviors, caring self growth and accountability. Satisfactory clinical evaluation, satisfactory skills lab testing and a theoretical grade minimum of 75% are required for progression in the program. Offered in the spring semester.
