NUR 4620 - Critical Health Care Nursing

3 cr

This 15-week immersive course integrates prior nursing knowledge with knowledge about care of those experiencing a critical illness or injury. Using a systems and population-based approach, select common critical health care needs of clients across the lifespan are explored in the classroom and Simulation Center. Experiences in the Simulation Center, including clinical simulations, disaster drills, and training in advanced skills, allow students the opportunity to cognitively rehearse, practice skills and gain valuable insight into the concerns of critically ill patients and their families and the patient care and care management issues that accompany a critical illness and/or injury.
