Course Descriptions
NUR174
Maternal Child Health Nursing
Family centered maternity nursing and the nursing care of children are the primary areas of focus during this course. Students will be scheduled for observational experiences in labor and delivery while nursing care of the newborn and postpartum clients will be assigned on the postpartum units in the acute care setting. Prenatal and postnatal clients may be seen during observational rotations in clinics and physician's offices. Understanding of growth and development is necessary when caring for children during the pediatric rotations, which are assigned in various settings including acute care, physician's offices, and day care centers. Students are expected to apply all related theoretical concepts as they administer safe, effective nursing care to all assigned clients, and as they prepare to graduate. 6 Credits (4 Lecture - 6 Lab)
