This pass/no pass course provides the student currently holding an unencumbered LPN license with an opportunity to demonstrate competence in application of nursing theory and skills attained in successfully completed Advanced Placement associate degree nursing courses (ADNR prefix courses) prior to reentry into the AD-N Program. Prior to demonstrating competence in skills, the students will review and update their knowledge of asepsis, sterile technique, positioning, range of motion exercises, safety measures, documentation, dosage calculation, medication administration principles and techniques, intravenous therapy, assessment, the nursing process, and nursing theoretical knowledge associated with previously successfully completed AD-N courses. The student will have access to videos and the nursing lab to practice the skills individually to refresh their knowledge prior to the class. Competence in application of nursing theory and skills will be demonstrated through 100% accuracy on Nursing Department math exam and Level I score or greater on required ATI Content Mastery Exams, clinical evaluation, clinical simulations, and return demonstrations.
