In order

10. Nursing is one of the noblest professions
known to mankind.
It represents one of the strategic
and main disciplines in Health
Care Systems in any country;
and,
no health system or economy can
do without it.

11. .
The very first thing a nursing
student must understand is
the exact definition of
nursing.
Students must learn about
the role and scope of
practice of nurses.

12. We, as faculty member is here to
share with you the role of a nurse by
discussing the theory and laboratory
sessions are specifically designed to
meet these requirements.
At this point, you will become familiar
with how nurses are now clinicians
who do not need physician
supervision to give care.

13. .
Once students understand the
work of a nurse, they move on
to how to perform it.
The nursing process entails the
order in which nurses examine,
evaluate and determine
treatment for a patient.

14. Definition of Nursing
Nursing is both science and art that
takes care of the person as a
whole: body, psycho and soul.
Nursing provides direct service to
satisfy the needs of the individual,
the family and the community, in
health and disease.

15. The mission of the department is
teaching the basics of nursing in
different specialty e.g pediatric
nursing, medical surgical
nursing…..etc.
To provide nursing students with
knowledge and skills needed to
function safely and efficiently in the
nursing field.
Mission

16. GOALS

opportunity for you to become competent with
your nursing skills and thereby becoming a safe
practitioner while working towards excellence in
nursing
Identify importance of personal hygiene for an
individuals comfort, safety and well being then
to be able to practice it in the right way.

17. As you travel through your nursing program, you will
spend time in the Nursing Skills Lab during each
semester, whether you are learning new skills,
reviewing previously learned skills, or being evaluated
on your knowledge and psychomotor skills. Simulation
will be a key component of all these elements.
Critical thinking is encouraged by incorporating the
rationale for what you are learning. As well as
understanding the nursing responsibilities that
accompany these skills.

18. • Evaluation is a continuous process, course
skills testing and clinical experiences.
• You have the opportunity to practice
independently, with your peers, with student
lab assistants, and with faculty to develop
these skills.
• How much time you dedicate to practice is
dictated by how quickly you learn and by the
difficulty level of the skills.

19. • You all have your own style of learning;
therefore plan your time and needs
accordingly.
• Practice is completed on your own time.
Testing may either be on your own time or
during scheduled class/clinical time (course
dependent).

student’s assignments, assessments, quizzes and
examinations are performed without unfair or illegal
advantage.

student’s responsibility to obtain verification from the
instructor whether or not these materials may be used
