NSG 1700 Introductory Medical-Surgical Nursing

NSG 1700 Medical-Surgical Nursing I: Theory is the initial component of medical-surgical nursing education. The course builds upopn prior course content in anatomy and physiology, pahtophysiology, pharmacology, and nursing fundamentals by introducint concepts essential to provide medical-surgical nursing care to adult clients. This course includes special concerns for the elderly client as they apply to normal changes as well as common reoccurring health problems. Concepts are taught through lecture, discussion, case studies, and group activities. The nursing process and critical thinking skils are used as a framework to teach the nursing care of clients experiencing selected dysfunctions of various body systems.

Beverly Anderson will be developing this course with the support of Brenda Blocker and Shar Hunt.

She is proposing the use of tools such as Articulate Engage, StudyMate, Discussion forums and Chat rooms.

We look forward to following the development of this course!

Working with Beverly has been a pleasure. She, Shar and I are communicating well and feel comfortable with each other. We have had a slow start because of way too many time conflicts over the summer and I suspect that right now Beverly is more focused on getting moved to the new Health Sciences building. But she is making progress on her articulates and Shar and I are working on a skeleton lay out.

Beverly is feeling a lot of pressure from her department to get this course ready so we will need to get more involved with development as we settle into Fall semester.
