NURS 143 Concepts of Nursing

Concepts from the biophysical, psychosocial, and nursing domains are explored in this course as students assess and intervene to promote health for adult patients. Nursing care is focused on the restoration of optimal function using the nursing process and evidence-based practices to assist students 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.
