NURS 2702 — Fundamentals for Nursing
This course introduces the student to the role of the professional nurse. The emphasis on health promotion across the lifespan includes learning about self-health, as well as holistic client health practices.

The student will incorporate communication and growth and development theory in a caring and culturally sensitive manner. Within the context of clinical judgement, populations studied will include children, adults, older adults, and the family experiencing a normal pregnancy. Students explore how culture, ethnicity, socio-economic status, and nutrition influence the health of the person. This course coincides with NURS 2701 and NURS 2703.
