The Nursing Remedial/Refresher Course is a theory and clinical experience designed to assist the student in applying the nursing process and other essential skills to the care of clients experiencing common health alterations. The course focuses on the nurse attempting to pass the NCLEX and/or the nurse who desires to refresh her skills and

knowledge. Clinical emphasis is placed on the management of clients in both acute and long term care. Students are required to complete all components of this course. The purpose of this course is to assist nurses to pass the NCLEX examination and refresh nursing skills. Contact Hours:

90 hours of didactic / 13 classroom days 96 hours of clinical (24 hours in long term care) / 12 days of clinical practice. In order to receive a certificate of completion for the didactic portion of the course a student must achieve a passing score of at least 75% on at least one of three offered NCLEX exams and pass a Math exam with at least 90%. A student cannot pass on to the clinical portion without passing the didactic portion first. A failure in the didactic portion will require the student to re- take the course at the student's expense. The clinical experiences are graded on a pass/fail basis. If your assignment is late it is a failed grade for that week. Two failed grades for assignments will result in clinical failure and will require the student to retake the class at the student's own expense.

Learning Objectives Upon completion, the student should function as providers of care, managers of care, and members within the discipline of nursing as they:

1. Integrate the nursing process as a framework for the management of care of clients and families. The student will be able to collect data and assess the client and family, analyze the data, form a nursing diagnosis, develop and implement a nursing plan of care with goals and outcome criteria, evaluate the plan of care, and make changes to the plan of care as needed to restore the health of the client or to provide the client with respectable end of life care.

2. Apply organizational and interpersonal communication strategies in managing the care of clients, families, and other health care workers. This includes effectively reporting and recording patient information and plan of care and integrating teaching and learning strategies for client and family education.

3. Integrate cultural, spiritual, psychological, and developmental influences when managing client care.

4. Integrate the principals of pharmacology safely and competently when providing client care. This includes being knowledgeable of the medication/classification, (brand & generic names, Route, Dose and Times) mechanism of action, side effects, adverse reactions, and nursing implications for your client receiving this medication, precautions of commonly prescribed medications as well as safe administration of oral, parenteral, and intravenous medications, utilizing the six rights of medication administration and adhering to two patient identifiers before administration. Interpret lab values and the significance of altered values as they relate to a client's condition/diagnosis.

5. Integrate the principles of safety when providing care to clients and families. 6. Incorporate the principles of nutrition for maintaining optimal healthcare for clients

and families. 7. Value the legal, ethical, and professional parameters when managing client care. 8. Apply concepts of leadership, autonomy and management to the practice of

professional nursing. 9. Utilize the knowledge and skill to practice independently and collaboratively with

other health professions. 10. Practice professional nursing competently in diverse settings using critical thinking

and therapeutic nursing interventions with individuals, families, aggregates and communities at any developmental stage and with varied lived health experiences.
