In the final Cooperative Learning Experience, students learn to integrate and apply core knowledge from the liberal arts and sciences with the foundational nursing knowledge, hands-on skills, and professional behaviors as the basis for providing safe, quality, and patient-centered care for the pediatric (including newborn care) and women’s health (including ante-, intra-, and post-partum care) populations across the care continuum. Students will be introduced to concept exemplars, including growth and development, health promotion and illness prevention, reproduction oxygenation, perfusion, clotting, metabolism, immunity, infection, abuse/neglect, mobility, nutrition, digestion, elimination - and related pathophysiology and pharmacology. Learning experiences include the classroom, simulated learning environment, and patient care settings.
