This course is the clinical experience
accompanying

the area of medical-surgical nursing and builds
upon the clinical experience of

integrate the principles of health promotion and
disease prevention, the student will care for
clients with complex health conditions in a
variety of settings. The concepts of critical
thinking, problem solving, decision-making, and
priority setting are emphasized utilizing the
nursing process as the foundation. Collaboration,
communication, delegation, and patient teaching
are incorporated into the holistic care of the
client and family. The student will integrate the
principles of excellent communication,
evidence-based practice, quality improvement and
safety while providing care as a member of the
interdisciplinary team. Students will explore
nursing roles in a variety of out-rotation
clinical settings that may include surgical
nursing, outpatient nursing, rural nursing and
