This course is taken concurrently with NUR 319. The course is designed to allow the students to apply the nursing process in the care of clients with an acute illness or undergoing a surgical procedure involving the respiratory, haematological or cardiovascular system.  Students will spend six (6) hours per week on an assigned clinical unit under the supervision of nurse technicians and clinicians. In addition, students will develop skills in setting trays and trolleys and preparing clients for a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Ward conferences will be organized to discuss the students’ clinical experiences and procedures. Demonstrations with return demonstration of selected nursing skills will be included in the course.
