Spring 2025 Lecture Laboratory Upper Division
This course will give an introduction to problem-based learning of the nursing process (patient evaluations, interventions, and desire resolutions) using a case-based approach. This course will integrate foundational knowledge from anatomy, physiology, and information in the veterinary nursing courses. This course will draw on fundamentals and concepts learned from all courses to this point including pharmacology, diagnostic imaging, parasitology, small animal nursing, and large animal nursing, so as to enable you to apply knowledge of understanding of clinical cases. Cases will involve different domestic animal species.
