NURS 3300 - Acute Care Clinical

The development of nursing knowledge and skills appropriate for individuals experiencing acute health deviations is emphasized. Building upon previous theory and skills, a nursing process approach is used to plan and deliver evidence-based nursing care to individuals across the lifespan. Client education is emphasized. The campus laboratory, as well as acute care settings, provides opportunities for integration of theory to practice (7 credit hours are divided into 4.5 credit hours lecture and 2.5 credit hours clinical learning experiences, which is a 1:3 ratio, or 7.5 clinical contact hours/week [112.5 total clinical contact hours]). The course includes one 1.5-hour recitation per week. Fall, spring.
