This theory and lab course is designed for Practical Nurses who possess a current license and have stopped out of nursing school greater than one year. The course strengthens the student's ability to develop and utilize the nursing care plan, complete detailed assessments, and engage in clinical reasoning. Students completing the course will understand the differences between the LPN and RN scope of practice. Nursing skills reviewed and evaluated include but are not limited to: IV insertion, medication administration, assessment, Foley catheter insertion, drug dosage calculations, trach care, EKG interpretation, sterile dressing changes, and glucometer usage. OB and Pediatric care will also be reviewed.
