Course work focuses on development of professional nursing practice and includes content that will broaden and strengthen the registered nurse student’s repertoire of knowledge and skills. Content includes pathophysiology, pharmacology, health assessment, professional socialization, finance, health care delivery, research and family/community nursing. Clinical experiences are with individuals, families and groups in community settings.

The practicum is the culminating clinical experience and provides an opportunity for integration and synthesis of professional role behaviors and evidence-based practice. An elective permits students to pursue individual interests and to avail themselves of knowledge from other disciplines.

A current Florida registered nurse license is required in addition to the criteria for enrollment in the college’s undergraduate nursing courses.
