In this one-time course, students will learn about subjects that are important in preparation for a major in nursing (math, science, English/speech,etc.), discuss the different types of nursing licenses and how they are obtained (CNA, LPN, RN), explore multiple different nursing specialties (i.e floor nursing, intensive care, pediatrics, obstetrics, etc.), examine what to expect on the job, and ask any questions they may have regarding nursing as a career. This class will be structured similarly to how a nursing class would be taught on an online platform. I will use a PowerPoint and we will have have question and answer sessions where students can either turn on their cameras and verbally ask questions and discuss or they can chat in a statement or question. If they are uncomfortable asking questions that everyone will see, they can send me a question privately.I will ask students questions throughout the lesson and have them chat their answers back in to me. Students only need to come with an interest in learning more about nursing. There are no other requirements for this course
Learning Goals
Students will be able to:
1) List subjects in school that can help them prepare for a nursing career.
2) List at least 3 different areas of nursing.
3) Explain the difference between a certified nursing assistant, a licensed practical nurse, and a registered nurse.
4) Describe three things that a nurse does.
5) Discuss which areas of nursing interest them the most.
6) Analyze positives and negatives of a nursing career
Other Details
Parental Guidance
We will discuss the nurse's roll which includes administering injections, giving medications, starting intravenous lines, assisting with patient grooming, assisting patients during birth, and possibly death.. Some students may feel uncomfortable discussing these topics, but we will not be going in-depth into these topics.I cannot predict, however, the questions that could possibly come up in discussion.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been a nurse since 1992 and have educated college-age learners for the past 9 years. I have taught human growth and development in my Maternal Newborn class and am quite familiar with pediatrics. At the college where I taught, we had multiple students from area middle and high schools come to our college for career exploration and I have spoken to many middle school and high school-age students about nursing as a career choice.Reviews
