NUR 1302 - Current Concepts In Nursing 2 Credits
The focus of this two-credit hour, web-enhanced course is to introduce the LPN/LPTN to concepts related to the transition and socialization toward associate degree (A.D.) education and the Registered Nurse role. The course provides learning in relation to the NPC Nursing Philosophy and an introduction to NPC A.D. nursing curricular concepts. Selected NUR 1108 Nursing Process I topics are examined in an effort to develop the LPN/LPTN knowledge base to a level consistent with that of the RN student entering NUR 1208 Nursing Process II /NUR 1216 Accelerated Nursing . A major focus is the use of the nursing process in relation to physical, emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual responses. There is no clinical component to the course.
Prerequisite: Graduation from a state approved PN or PTN educational program, Unencumbered LPN/LPTN license in all states registered (must include Arkansas), Officially admitted to the NPC Nursing Program or with departmental approval, Minimum of 90% score on the Dosage Calculation Exam, and evidence of completion of HIPAA and Blood Born Pathogen education or successful completion of the HIPAA and Blood-Borne Pathogen modules within the course materials, or a nursing student transferring from an accredited nursing program.
