NURS212M - Nursing IV: Elliot CICU The student develops increased competence and independence to provide and manage care for patients and families with common multi-system health problems across the life span. The scope of the course includes ethical decision-making, role performance and the care of patients with multi-system health problems of metabolism/immunity/hematopoiesis; cognition/sensation/perception; and cardio-respiratory. Additional course content includes leadership skills, health care policy and legislative advocacy. A research paper is required concerning current health care/nursing trends. Laboratory learning focuses on student case presentations involving current, multi-system health problems and ethical decision-making. Clinical learning experiences are provided for the student in advanced medical-surgical and community health settings.

NURS111M - Nursing I:Practice&App Lab D1 Students begin learning the roles of the Associate Degree Nurse as a provider and manager of care and member of the discipline of nursing. Students develop beginning intellectual, interpersonal and psychomotor competencies to assess well patients and patients with common actual or possible alterations in health. The roles of the nurse, communication theory, life span development, ethical-legal standards, and nursing process are basic concepts to the practice of nursing for the Associate Degree Nurse. Students are introduced to the concept that the person is a system in dynamic interaction with the internal and external environments. The eleven Functional Health Patterns organize the study of concepts common to a basic knowledge of the patient's state of wellness and possible or actual health problems. The Learning laboratory provides opportunities to practice nursing skills in simulated activities. Clinical learning provides experiences to practice nursing by caring for well patients or patients with common basic health problems in structured health settings – long term/sub-acute care.

ENGL214M - Creative Non-Fiction In this course students are introduced to the fourth genre of writing, creative nonfiction. Students learn to incorporate the techniques of fiction such as scenes, dialog, descriptions, and conflict/resolution into original pieces of nonfiction. Drawing on course readings for essay models and idea development, students produce creative nonfiction works such as the personal essay, the memoir, nature and science writing, and literary journalism. Peer review and instructor feedback constitute a significant component of the course. Prerequisite: ENGL 109M or ENGL110M. (Fulfills English or Humanities requirement.)

MATH202M - Probability and Statistics In this course students study various topics including basic measure of central tendency and variability, frequency distributions, probability, the binomial distribution, the normal distribution, sampling of distributions, estimation of parameters, confidence levels and hypothesis testing, non-parametric tests, simple regression and correlation analysis. Prerequisites: Satisfactory placement test scores as defined by the mathematics faculty or successful completion of the course: MATH145M with a grade of “C” or better, satisfactory placement test scores, or permission from the Mathematics Program Coordinator, the Department Chair, or a full time mathematics faculty member.

ECE100M - Early Childhood Growth and Development This course provides an in-depth study of typical growth and development from conception through age 8 with an emphasis on the specific needs and characteristics of each developmental level as described in developmental milestones charts and the NH Early Learning Standards. The experiences in this course will focus attention on how observation, documentation, and assessment can be used to inform understandings about children and the practice of teaching. Focused instruction is given on learning how to observe, document, and analyze children’s thinking and developmental processes. Insights gleaned from this learning will be enhanced by theories and research on child development. Prominent theories of child psychology, including but not limited to Piaget, Erikson, Maslow and Bronfenbrenner, will be introduced. At least 15 hours of observation of children in childcare settings is required. Prerequisites: none

BIOL120M - Human Anatomy and Physiology II This course is a continuation of Human Anatomy & Physiology I. The course includes current in-depth information of the structure and function of the endocrine, digestive, respiratory, blood, cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, urinary, and reproductive systems. Laboratory work augments lecture topics and includes exercises in microscopy, the study of fresh and preserved specimens, models, and physiological measurements on the human body. Pre-requisite of C or better in BIOL 110M or permission of the instructor.

ACCT215M - Cost Accounting II This course is designed as a continuation of the concepts covered in Cost Accounting 1 (ACCT213M). The student will examine and analyze service department costs, joint cost allocation, management control systems, activity based costing, capital budgeting, transfer pricing, standard cost systems, variance analysis, investment center performance, relevant costs for decision making, ratio analysis, and absorption versus variable costing. Prerequisite ACCT213M.

ADMT240M - Manufacturing Systems II Students will explore the mechanical aspects of machines and the associated fluid power components working together as needed for automated manufacturing. This will in include drive mechanisms for feeds, speeds, and power utilization for each component in the manufacturing line such as conveyors, robots, machine tools, and workstations. This course will incorporate the variability in products to be manufactured in relationship to the equipment capacities. Learning will include the use computer simulation and hands-on for the production setups. Each mechanism will be applying the learned aspects as to the specifications, functions, and safe operation. Throughout the course, emphasis will be placed on effective workplace skills including teamwork, integrity, and dependability. Prerequisite: AMT210M - Manufacturing Systems I.

HSV208M - SpclTpxHSV: Jane Addams This course will vary by semester. Human Services topics will reflect faculty and/or student interests and will focus on an in-depth coverage of specific human services topics. All courses will focus on various aspects of human services; concepts, events, client concerns, family concerns, treatments, services, and ideas and values shaping the contemporary world. Critical thinking, speaking and writing skills will be emphasized, as well as the ability to analyze resources. Course prerequisites: HSV111M and ENGL110XM or ENGL110M with a grade of “C” or better.
