Demonstration and supervised practice of intermediate vocational nursing: adult/geriatric, maternal-child, pediatric skills based on scientific principles and concepts from theory. Concepts related to mental health and growth and development will be integrated into skills. Planning and implementing intermediate adult/geriatric, maternal-child, and pediatric patient care are done in the simulated clinical setting relevant to steps in the nursing process: assessment, planning, implementing, evaluation and documentation. Students will practice and demonstrate skills in the lab setting prior to the assignment of these skills in the clinical setting.
