PNR117 Advanced Life Continuum Nursing

This course integrates theory and practice for the purpose of preparing the student for entry into practice. This course provides the opportunity for students to practice leadership and management skills in the extended care facility and develop a professional portfolio. The gerontological nursing segment places emphasis on care that meets the specialized needs of the older adult, sick or well, in the extended care facility and in the community-at-large. The student will identify the myriad resources available to the client in the community-at-large and observe and participate in the unique care being rendered at home by health-care professions.
