DNRS 324 - Concepts of Professional Nursing for RNs (3)

Prerequisites: DCHE 111 , DCPT 105 , DENG 101 , DENG 102  
Corequisite: DCHE 112  
Online course available only to nurses enrolled in the RN-BSN program Fall 2012 and thereafter. All prerequisites must be completed with a minimum grade of “C” (2.00). DNRS324 is a prerequisite to all other RN-BSN nursing courses.
This course focuses on concepts of professionalism, communication skills, and issues related to Baccalaureate-level nursing practice, nursing models, and the formation of a personal philosophy of nursing. This course, as others in the curriculum, anticipates that students, having completed computer and English classes, are able to both cite references and format papers using the APA style as a foundation for producing scholarly papers in other writing courses. The course includes three credit hours of theory (45 clock-hours). DNRS 324 meets the requirement for a written communication course (see Communication Requirements  in the Academic Section of the Academic Bulletin).
