NURS 4575 - Advanced Medical Surgical Nursing

5 hrs

Integrates previously learned professional nursing competencies in the care of a diverse adult population with advanced medical surgical disease processes. Analysis of previous knowledge and skills forms the foundation with the emphasis on the nurse as provider of patient-centered care, patient advocate, and professional member of an interdisciplinary health care team. Focus is on the application, analysis, and synthesis of selected biophysical, psychosocial, and professional nursing concepts utilizing evidence-based practice in the interventions and clinical decision-making for patients and their families.

The main goal is to emphasize all nursing practices and ensure that patient safety has always been our epicenter.
