NURS 125 Paramedic Transition Concepts

This course will explore professional behaviors, standards, and expectations deemed necessary to function in the role of the registered nurse as the student transitions from the role of the Paramedic. Concepts from the biophysical, psychosocial and nursing domains will be explored and select content from NURS 142 and NURS 143 will be presented.  Nursing care is focused on the restoration of optimal function for adult clients using the nursing process and evidence-based practices to apply theory to practice, formulate nursing judgments, and develop competencies to provide safe patient-centered care. Clinical, skills laboratory, and simulation experiences will supplement didactic learning methods. Progression to the second year of the Nursing associate degree program will occur after completion of this course.
