NURS-234 Family Centered Nursing II
Building on theoretical knowledge and clinical competencies from NURS-134, the student will gain greater proficiency in caring for patients within the family unit. Nursing care is most effective when it is delivered with the belief that the family is the patient. The child is an essential member of the family unit. The curriculum framework will help students examine responses and nursing interventions to meet the needs of the child and family. Students will develop competencies required to administer safe, technical nursing care with an emphasis on caring for children with a holistic approach to the family unit.
