This course is the first of several courses designed to introduce students to the study of the human body. In this course, students will first review the structural and functional organization of the body. This will include an overview of all body systems by examining the anatomy of each system and investigating how each system works to maintain homeostasis (balanced functioning of the human body).
Students will then study the chemical, cellular and tissue levels of body organization before making a detailed study of the anatomy and physiology of the integumentary, skeletal and muscular systems. Students will learn basic scientific terminology as it is applied to medical and surgical nursing practice and will develop competency in various relevant laboratory skills such as proper dissection techniques, the proper use of the compound microscope and modern physiological equipment.

Human development consists of several related sections beginning at conception and ending at death. Each stage or section will focus on the physical, cognitive and psychosocial changes and development of that particular period. Students will study and compare all three aspects of each of the different stages.

The first Nursing course in the program introduces the conceptual framework of the program. The concepts include caring, health and illness, nursing process, development, nursing abilities and human needs. Students will gain theoretical knowledge and skills from classroom content, nursing laboratory and clinical experience. Content in the semester includes an introduction to the profession, the need for comfort, health assessment, hygiene care and vital signs. There is also an introduction to pharmacology including legalities and medication administration. Students will care for clients with health concerns in rehabilitation, convalescent, and long-term health care settings.

Le département de français se réserve le droit de changer le placement d’un(e) étudiant(e) sur notification écrite. Les étudiant(e)s suivent le cours du bloc « B » au même niveau que le cours du bloc « A ».

Si le test de classement détermine que les étudiant(e)s n’ont pas un niveau de compétence en français correspondant à celui d’un cégep, il peut leur être demandé de suivre un cours de mise-à-niveau pour améliorer leur connaissance de la langue.  Voir la liste des cours

Les étudiant(e)s  doivent accumuler trois (3) cours de lettres pour obtenir leur DEC. Les cours 345-101-MQ et 345-102-MQ peuvent être suivis dans n’importe quel ordre, mais les deux doivent être réussis avant de pouvoir s’inscrire aux cours 345-21_-AB. Voir la liste des cours

Prerequisite: 101-806-AB
This is a general course with a strong emphasis on infection and medically important bacteria, viruses and fungi. Morphology and physiology of microorganisms will be followed by discussions of host-parasite relationships, infections, immunity and epidemiology, the control of microorganisms and chemotherapeutic treatments. Laboratory activities will include aseptic technique, proper handling of microorganisms and some diagnostic procedures.
Microbiology and Immunology is a required course for all students preparing for a career in Nursing and is a critical part of the training for this profession. From the simple but critical act of hand washing to the complex care of a patient with an infectious disease, a sound working knowledge of microbiology and epidemiological principles is essential for safe practice in the health field.

Nurses must deal with a variety of patient care situations related to the people in their care, and at the same time manage their own physical and mental health. Observing and interpreting patient behaviour, being alert to potentially dangerous situations, and helping patients cope with loss and bereavement are some of the nursing issues related to psychology that will be covered in this course.
In addition, this course will help prepare students for professional demands by addressing topics such as managing one’s own emotions and stress, and learning about professional burnout. By the end of the course, students will have a greater knowledge of psychological theories and research, finding how these relate directly to the practice of Nursing.

Prerequisites: 180-20G-AB, 101-805-AB & 101-806-AB
