RATIONALE: Presenting nursing specialties in a compressed five week session requires the integration
of both specified lab time and designated simulation practice. Adding the components of campus lab
practice to the clinical experience, followed by simulation scenarios will allow the students to gain the
necessary knowledge, apply the knowledge to patients, and review sentinel clinical experiences in a safe
learning environment. The clinical focus of IV therapy, maternal child nursing, and pediatric nursing all
require a high level of expertise in dealing with unexpected situations. The clinical component of each
course allows the students to practice the daily and expected patient interventions. Simulation lab time
added to the courses will give the students the experience necessary to practice the sudden, unexpected,
and catastrophic events that can occur within these nursing specialties. The Board of Registered Nursing
strongly recommends the courses N051L, N040L, and N041L be increased from 1.5 units to 2 units. This
will allow each course to maintain traditional lab component, a full clinical day component, and add an
additional simulation lab to the weekly schedule.
Implementation: Fall 2015. The modified courses have been submitted to the C&I process, the
Chancellors Report on the RN program has been temporarily withdrawn. Courses have not been
