The second of two medical-surgical nursing courses. This course continues to build upon the foundational skills and knowledge developed in Foundations of Nursing with a continued focus on the care of adult patients with common health alterations that require medical and/or surgical intervention. A continued emphasis is placed on the concepts of patient-centered care, pharmacology, nutrition, communication, quality improvement and professionalism. Students will assume leadership, delegation, teamwork and collaboration roles utilizing evidence-based practice. Clinical experiences provide the student an opportunity to apply theoretical concepts, demonstrate effective communication skills, including current information technologies, develop and utilize clinical judgment, and implement safe evidence-based patient care to adults in a variety of settings.
