RNSG 2510 Medical Surgical Nursing II

This course reinforces theory and fundamental nursing skills and the concepts of adult health nursing. The nursing process is used as a framework to organize content and deliver nursing care. Students use critical thinking as the basis for decision regarding planning, intervention and evaluation when caring for clients with medical-surgical disorders. Pharmacological principles are integrated throughout the course. Simulated laboratory and clinical settings provide an opportunity to develop competency in nursing skills and caring in nursing practice. Clinical opportunities are provided in a variety of medical- surgical settings. Clinical practice-based learning activities and interactions will be offered to allow professional development through praxis, reflection, critical thinking, problem-solving, decision-making, accountability, provision and coordination of care, advocacy, and collaboration.
