Resources for Nursing Transition Course (NUR 190)

The Associate Degree Nursing program was redesigned to align nursing curriculum collegewide in order to deliver instruction in a concept-based format with multiple points of entry and exit. This collection of resources contains curriculum and support materials for Nursing Transition Course, the entry-level course for LPNs, LVNs, and certified paramedics pursuing Delaware Tech's advanced placement associate degree. The course provides theoretical and clinical knowledge to transition licensed practical or vocational nurses (LPN/LVN) and certified paramedics into the concept-based Associate of Applied Science in Nursing Degree program. Emphasis is placed on establishing core concepts, clinical competency with diverse populations, and professionalism in a variety of settings. Materials include activities, handouts, PowerPoint presentations, resources, lecture capture presentations, and lesson plans.
