PNR 13 — Practical Nursing Arts
This course is designed to assist the student PN to gain knowledge of essential nursing skills and procedures, inclusive of scientific principles that will support the development of critical thinking abilities. Maslow's Hierarchy of Basic Human Needs and the Nursing Process is the theoretical framework the PN student will use to problem solve and deliver safe effective care. With direction, PN students will develop skills in: collecting data, recognizing a nursing diagnosis, assisting with the planning and implementation of the nursing care plan, perfecting their ability to perform procedures, handling equipment, and evaluating, reporting and documenting client outcomes.
