Nursing Foundations III: Medical-Surgical Nursing - NFDN 2003

A laboratory component is included in which learners apply theory and practise nursing skills related to medical-surgical nursing, including parenteral medication administration.

Note: Prerequisite NFDN 1002. Co-requisite: PATH 1000. Restricted to Practical Nurse and Practical Nurse for Internationally Educated Nurses (some class sections of this course may not be open to PNDIEN).
