NURS 4210 - Pediatric Clinical

Principles of pediatric nursing are introduced. The course focuses on family development and the child’s unique responses to the external environment. Students collaborate with members of the interdisciplinary health care team to develop family-centered nursing plans of care. The campus laboratory setting, as well as hospital, and outpatient settings, provide the opportunity for integration of theory to practice (4 credit hours are divided into 3 credit hours lecture and 1 credit hours clinical learning experiences, which is a 1:3 ratio, or 45 total clinical contact hours per semester). The course includes one 0.5-hour recitation per week. Fall, spring.
