introduction to dCursiny Introduction to Nursing I and II is presented during the first and second semesters of the Freshman year. Each semester is divided into two units with a nursing care study which correlates the clinical experience. Through introduction to Nursing I and II the freshman are introduced to their role in nursing and the basic nursing care of the patient. Eight weeks after admission, through planned clinical experience, the student begins to develop skills in nursing tech- niques. Emphasis is placed on scientific principles taught in the basic sciences as they relate to the general nursing care of the individual patient.
