NURS 302 - Introduction to Pharmacology for Accelerated BSN Students

Units: 1
Explores the introductory pharmacology principles, including the basics to pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacotherapeutics. Patient education needs regarding the use of pharmaceutical agents in health promotion will be explored. This course will include how drugs are named, classified and administered; pharmacologic actions; common therapeutic uses; side and adverse effects; and nursing administration issues/precautions. Drug categories included are the central and autonomic nervous system agents, agents for chronic pain management, and glycemic agents. Course content is similar to NURS 202 due to requirements of the Board of Registered Nursing, but concepts are treated at a higher theoretical level. Building on prior educational experiences and the ability to analyze and synthesize, students are expected to be self-directed learners. May not be taken for credit by students who have received credit for NURS 496 -5. Enrollment Requirements: NURS 300 , NURS 301 , NURS 314 , NURS 315 . Consent of instructor. All pre-nursing core courses.
