"Venipuncture" is a Moodle 3.7 shell course intended for medical staff with English as a Second Language. It emphasizes Canadian standards for venous blood collection, but it can be customized for your area.

This course introduces the theory that directs nursing skills and the development of nursing practice. These skills will help you to deliver care in a safe, patient-centered, and evidence-based manner.  We will be using the nursing process as a framework for the care and implementation of appropriate nursing interventions.  Basic to intermediate nursing skills are developed.  

Course DescriptionIntroduction to the concepts of psychosocial nursing care for clients throughout the life span. Emphasis on the use of the nursing process to assess and integrate therapeutic communication techniques, learning/teaching, psychosocial, diversity/cultural, spiritual, nutritional, pharmacological, legal and ethical issues. Introduction to adaptive and maladaptive, psychosocial and physiological responses related to commonly occurring psychological disorders as seen in the various healthcare settings. Integration QSEN competencies of patient-centered care, teamwork and collaboration, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, safety and informatics. Prerequisite: Admission to nursing program. Corequisite: NSG 140, NSG 142, NSG 143, NSG 145.

Professional Nursing Concepts is an 8 week hybrid course with 6 of the 8 weeks offered in person (the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, & 8th week) with the other 2 weeks asynchronous on Canvas. During this course we are going to review and expand upon topics that you have learned in your previous nursing courses such as prioritization, delegation, collaboration, etc. In addition we will begin to prepare you for the next steps starting your career as a new graduate nurse, where we will be learning the culture and expectations of the nursing profession, completing resumes, and NCLEX tips and application. 

The Number for Nurses Computer Assisted Learning Package begins with a basic principles section which is followed by application to nursing practice. The basic principles section deals with addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, S.I. units and scales and gauges. In each area a variety of methods are used to enable the student to understand these principles, through interactive tutorials and consolidate learning through exercises.

The aim of the division section is to help the student become competent both in the recognition of factors in fractions, and the ability to transfer simple fractions into long division format. These skills are particularly relevant during clinical practice as the nurse will be expected to utilise these methods to accurately calculate the drug dose to be administered to a patient.

The package can be accessed from the first year of the course and it is expected that the student will work through the basic principles section first. The application section will support the student through the second and third years of the course, as they become involved in the more complex elements of nursing skills. By the end of the third year the package should have enabled the student to gain the competency in application of number skills which will facilitate the transfer to qualified nurse status.

As the healthcare landscape evolves, so too does the need for nurses to stay current with advancements, best practices, and foundational concepts. Whether you’re re-entering the nursing field after a hiatus or seeking to enhance your existing skills, this book is designed to be your comprehensive guide to refreshing and expanding your nursing expertise.

In the fast-paced world of healthcare, it’s crucial to maintain and build upon your clinical competencies. This refresher text aims to bridge the gap between past experience and present-day practices, ensuring that you are well-prepared to deliver exceptional patient care. The content is carefully curated to address key areas of nursing practice, including updated clinical guidelines, emerging technologies, and evidence-based practices.

A brain is used by nurses to organize their patient care for each shift. On the brain, nurses track important clinical data and interventions for each patient. Many versions of a brain exist, and nurses often create their own.

Nursing students need a brain that organizes their clinical day and develops their clinical reasoning skills by prompting them to consider salient clinical information, prioritize actions, connect medications to diagnoses and data, and anticipate and evaluate outcomes of care. The information on this brain should help nursing students create post-clinical care maps.

This brain was created for use by nursing students during clinical practicums, It can be ammended to suit various clinical sites and populations as needed.

Short Description:
Return to milneopentextbooks.org to download PDF and other versions of this textNewParaNursing Care at the End of Life: What Every Clinician Should Know addresses an essential component of the basic educational preparation for the professional registered nurse student. Recent studies show that only one in four nurses feel confident in caring for dying patients and their families and less than 2% of overall content in nursing textbooks are related to end-of-life care. Despite the tremendous growth in palliative and end-of-life care programs across the country, very few nursing education programs provide adequate education on this topic for future nurses. The purpose of this textbook is to provide an in-depth look at death and dying in this country and explore the vital role of the nurse in assisting patients and families along the journey towards the end of life. There is an emphasis throughout the book on the simple, yet understated value of effective interpersonal communication between the patient and clinician. The text provides a basic foundation for understanding death and dying, including a brief historical examination of some main conceptual models associated with how patients cope with impending loss. An overview of illness trajectories and models of care, such as hospice and palliative care, are discussed. Lastly, the latest evidence based approaches for pain and symptom management, ethical concerns, cultural considerations, care at the time of death, and bereavement are examined. The goal of this text is to foster the necessary skills for nurses to provide compassionate care to individuals who are nearing the end of life and families who are experiencing the loss of a loved one. Every chapter contains a “What You Should Know” section which highlights and reinforces the main message nurses should know when caring for their patient.

A clinical brain is used by nurses to organize their patient care. This brain was created for pre-licensure nursing students to use during clinical rotations to guide their thinking toward prioritizing concerns, actions, and outcomes related to the admission diagnosis, assessment findings, and diagnostic data. The categories in the left column serve as reminders to students to thoroughly examine their patients and review relevant information in the health record. Use of this brain can help students create a care map.
