    Description
    This course prepares Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVN) to transition into the Registered Nursing (RN) program. This is a first-year course that focuses on the nurse's role in the collection of assessment data, identifying the relevance of the data collected, the analysis of patient priorities, the implementation of nursing interventions, and evaluation of patient care for diverse adult patients. This course includes role transition content, nursing process, standards of practice, and critical thinking in nursing. In the degree option, challenge examinations covering first and second semester medical-surgical and maternity nursing content will determine eligibility for placement in the program. Application of KSAs will occur in the hospital, on-campus skills laboratory, and simulation settings.
