Course Catalog Information (24-25)
NURS 93A
Pediatric Nursing
Course Description
This course focuses on an introduction to the nursing care of children. The framework of patient-centered care will be used as a basis to study the health/illness continuum as it applies to children and their families. The nursing process will be integrated throughout the course as a primary tool for delivering nursing care to children. Critical thinking and problem-solving skills will be employed through group exercises and independent study with consideration for the registered nurse's specific scope of practice. Both NURS 93A and NURS 93AL must be taken and passed concurrently within the same quarter (failure of either component requires both courses to be retaken).
Student Learning Outcomes
- Compare the physiologic, cognitive, and psychosocial stages of the pediatric patient: infant, toddler, preschooler, school age and adolescent.
