You will have 9 months from when you received your logins to finish phase 1 and phase 2 of the course.

Online Programs Used:

• Moodle: The course is designed using case-based learning where actual case scenarios are used to develop critical thinking in the learner. There are four theoretical modules that can be accessed online (you will be provided login information and instructions).
• Evolve: The Evolve Website will be used as a tool to teach various scenarios. These include HESI PN Case Studies: critical thinking exercises in adult health (all systems), medical-surgical review of systems, procedures and treatment, mathematical practice, acid-base and electrolytes, infection control and wound care, and psychiatric fundamentals, procedures, disorders, and treatment.

Each module has assigned readings, case scenarios and self-testing. The student is expected to read the assignments, review the web links, and complete the self-tests.

• Module One - Nursing Concepts
• Module Two - Nursing Skills
• Module Three - Nursing Interventions
• Module Four - Adult Health Nursing
• Module Five - Alternative Healthcare Systems

Once you have completed the course requirements you will then be eligible to take the open book final exam, either online or at an approved proctoring site. You are required to pass the final exam with at least a score of 80% in order to continue to the clinical portion. Students may take the final exam only once. Those who do not pass may retake the course for an additional fee. Retaking the final exam requires the design and approval of a successful retake plan.
