Rationale for BSN Course Placement
The program of studies for the
baccalaureate degree in nursing at Beth-El College takes four years to
complete.
Level I consists primarily of general education courses which
provide a foundation for later nursing courses.
Students are provided with opportunity for a well-rounded
academic experience including courses in the physical/biological
sciences, psychosocial sciences and humanities.
Nursing content is introduced in year one to provide foundation
concepts which introduce the student to the conceptual framework of
the college, provide a basis in skills for the more advanced clinical
courses to follow in years two, three and four and to introduce the
student early in the college curriculum to nursing content thereby
their career choice. Nursing courses in year one and two include:
Both Health Assessment and Fundamentals
of Nursing Practice have a clinical laboratory component to the
course.
Pharmacology HSCI 205 provides a basis for more complex
theory/clinical integration.
The concept of human caring is used throughout the curriculum.
In year one, human caring is addressed as it applies to self
care. The student gains
awareness of his/her own and other individual health needs.
The emphasis in the first two years is the acquisition of
fundamental concepts to provide a basis for later studies and
psychomotor skills. The emphasis in year three is human caring with individual clients. Nursing courses for this year include:
The emphasis in year four is nursing content offered for care of groups, families and complex systems; human caring of systems. Clinical Nursing courses include:
Students are given the opportunity to
expand their interest and competencies by selecting nursing and
non/nursing electives.
Required elective courses may be completed at the discretion of
the student. New Curriculum for Undergraduate Nursing (effective Fall 2001)
Computer Science: Students are expected to have basic computer skills including keyboarding and use of word processing software upon entering Beth-El. If not, students can take an introduction to computers course for 3 credit hours. ©2001-2004 Beth-El College of Nursing & Health Sciences |
