This is the first of four Nursing Concepts courses and builds upon the basic principles presented in NUR1020 , as well as knowledge from all prerequisite courses.

Concepts include fluid and electrolyte balance; shock; pain management; peri-operative care; urinary, reproductive, oncologic and metabolic disorders; and basic cardiovascular conditions. The use of the nursing process provides a framework for student learning and encourages critical thinking. Geriatric and nutritional considerations will be included.

Clinical experience in the corequisite NUR1214L  will provide opportunities for the student to apply knowledge in the acute care setting. Lecture: 45 hours. Does not count toward A.A. degree.
