It provides an introduction to the various roles and expectations of a RN.

Concepts related to program philosophy, conceptual framework, cultural sensitivity, growth and development, nursing skills, and role expectations are emphasized. Student's knowledge, skills, assessments, and practice opportunities in the classroom, via standardized testing, and/or simulations will be assessed to determine placement options for student success.
