NUR 301 - Transition to Baccalaureate Nursing Education

2 credits
This course bridges the RN student to higher education, technology and professional nursing: maximizing the health of persons by guiding, promoting health, and shaping the health environment. The course content is built on an assumed foundation of basic nursing preparation and clinical experience of the RN. Professional concepts are introduced to broaden career development. Preparation of a professional portfolio that serves as a basis for credit transfer of prior nursing education, experience and attainment of professional credentials is the primary course outcome. The course is offered as a hybrid model of education with a mix of face-to-face and online classes at the Fall River campus or on-site at various health care agencies in the region.
