Transfers ToCSUDescriptionThis is a prerequisite transition course for LVNs to gain accelerated entry into the Medical-Surgical and Pediatric/Maternity portions of the third semester of the Associate Degree Nursing program or participate in the 30-unit option program at Shasta College. Building upon their experience as an LVN, students will expand upon their fundamental clinical nursing skills to include aspects of pharmacology, physical assessment, and the nursing process. Students will have a variety of client assignments in medical-surgical care. Students will progress from providing nursing care for a single client to several increasingly complex clients. Emphasis is placed on the integration of theory and the nursing process into the clinical setting by care planning and clinical pre and post conferences. (CSU transferable)
