Transfers ToCSUDescriptionBuilding on the knowledge and skills of Nursing 120, the student learns about nursing care of the obstetric and pediatric patient populations. Obstetric nursing addresses the physiologic and psychosocial changes women and their families experience during pre-conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, as well as the impact of the childbearing cycle on the family, population health, and outcomes. Pediatric nursing addresses the nursing management of children with alternations in health, many of which result in chronic illnesses. Environmental factors such as physical, psychological, social, spiritual and cultural elements are discussed in the way they impact the pediatric and obstetric patients and their families. Refinement of critical thinking skills, clinical decision-making, and a focus on growth and development are emphasized. Concurrent clinical experience is in acute and ambulatory care settings. This is a required course for the Nursing Program. (CSU)Usually HeldMon 8:00am–11:15am, Mon Thu 8:00am–11:05am, Thu 8:00am–10:50am
