Parent-child nursing is the study of nursing care related to the prenatal, intrapartal and postpartal periods of the woman and her family. The focus of the course is the use of clinical judgment to provide safe, evidence-based care. Reproductive issues and selected abnormal conditions during pregnancy and child birth are included. Common congenital/genetic conditions and childhood diseases are also discussed. Students care for patients in a variety of settings during the bi-weekly six-hour clinical. The sites for these experiences are discussed in the first class meeting. A grade of C or better is required to pass. The course may be attempted two times provided the student scores a 3 or better on the re-entry rubric, is granted re-entry by the Appeals Committee, and has not used the appeals process for any other nursing course.
Notes: NUR 215 has 3 clinical hours per week in addition to the 2 lectures.
