This course builds on the foundations of nursing by considering stressors that affect an individual s ability to conserve energy, personal, structural and/or social integrity and thus threaten individual wellness. Critical thinking models for human functioning and independent nursing interventions will be further explored and expanded to include detailed nursing processes, care management, healthcare team approaches and holistic considerations for selected stressors. Stressors explored will include, but are not limited to, commonly occurring health limitations that endanger an individual s ability for conservation.

The critical thinking models for human functioning (MORCC) and initial nursing interventions (ADN) will be used and practiced in conjunction with the nursing process. Selected stressors include, but are not limited to those causing an altered state of wholeness that requires adjustments to one s integrity and energy conservation to re-establish wholeness and health.

Students may officially withdraw from class during add/drop period without punitive grades or financial obligations for the classes dropped.

Attendance Policy for Student Receiving VA Educational Benefits Southern Technical College is an attendance taking institution. Students are expected to attend each class session unless prevented by illness or other unavoidable circumstances. Attendance is taken for each class session. All students who do not attend or interact with any scheduled class for 14 consecutive calendar days will be administratively dropped from the College and will be terminated from their VA benefits for unsatisfactory attendance. Special accommodations can be made for military personnel who are called to active duty or reserve training for a period of approximately two weeks. Service members should see the Director of Education prior to the first date the student will be absent. A copy of military orders must be provided. Upon approval, the Director of Education will grant an extension of time based on the days of required military service and for necessary travel time to and from military duty. Once a student is administratively dropped, the College will promptly notify VA that the individual s VA education benefits are being terminated due to unsatisfactory attendance. The student s attendance record will be retained in the veteran s file for USDVA and SAA audit purposes. Students who are administratively dropped from the College due to attendance and are interested in re-entering, can submit an application for re-enrollment with the Registrar s Office for the next term. A VA student can miss no more than 20% of the scheduled classes in any individual course. Should a student miss more than 20% of the scheduled classes in any course, the student s enrollment for VA education benefits must be terminated effective the last date that student attended class prior to exceeding 20% absenteeism.
