1 credit(s)
Prerequisite(s): Acceptance into the Nursing Program
NUR 1511, the first in a series of three devoted to mental health nursing, assists students to refine communication skills introduced in earlier nursing courses and to develop a beginning understanding of the dynamics of human behavior, as applied in mental health nursing and in the psychosocial sphere of general nursing care. Select mental health experiences and activities will be incorporated into NUR 1211L, Adult Nursing I (Basic Nursing students) or NUR 2424L, Maternal Nursing Concepts (Advanced Placement Nursing students). These clinical learning experiences will provide students with the opportunity to further develop their roles as provider of care, manager of care, and professional within the discipline of nursing. NUR 1511 may require students to utilize basic computer skills and computer-assisted instruction.
