HFIT221M - Professional Experience

NURS112M - Nursing II: Elliot/Fitch The student develops competence to provide and manage care for patients and their families across the life span in structured health care settings. The student provides support and teaching to the patient and family and direct care for the patient. The scope of the course includes the Functional Health Patterns of Sexual Reproductive, Role Relationship, Nutrition Metabolic, Health Perception Health Management, Cognitive Perceptual and Value Belief. Intellectual, interpersonal and psychomotor competencies are further developed. Needs of patients across the life span are emphasized with special focus on adults, children in childbearing and childrearing families, and psychiatric/mental health care settings.The student will plan the care of the patient/family by utilizing the Nursing Process. Direct care will be provided to patients with common health problems. Laboratory learning provides opportunities to practice more complex nursing skills and basic group skills in simulated activities. Clinical learning experiences are provided for the student in adult health care settings, and psychiatric/mental health, or perinatal/pediatric settings.

BUS114M - Business Management This course introduces the principles and techniques underlying the successful organization and management of business activities. The course combines the traditional analysis of management principles with the behavioral approach using case studies. Areas of study include the management functions of planning, organization, leadership, staffing control, and the decision-making process.

HUMA215M - Giving Voice: Human Communication in Nursing The Human Communication in Nursing course seeks to prepare students entering the healthcare field with essential communication, conflict management, and relationship skills. The course serves as a preceptorship class in which students will learn the skills necessary to serve as a preceptor, to navigate difficult conversations, and to communicate clearly with a multidisciplinary team during an emergency. Upon successful completion of the course, students will enter the field with the skills necessary to serve as a preceptor once they have received the proper orientation and skillset at an organization. The course is also one steeped in the Humanities. Students will consider how the narrative form (story) and reflection intersect with healthcare, specifically the nursing profession and patient care. Through this exploration students will hone their communication skills and reflect on the humanity of their practice. The course employs literature, film, autoethnography, journaling, and creative nonfiction to shape the relationship of both caregiver and patient. In addition to preceptorship preparation, students will engage in scholarship and story composition through the construction of a memoir.

ETEC150M - Power Transformers and Rotating Machinery This course presents information on the theory of operation, application, and installation practices pertaining to equipment that provides for electrical power generation, transmission, and use. The course covers energy and power conversion, AC and DC power systems, power quality considerations, AC and DC generators, transformers, and AC and DC motors. The National Electrical Code will be referenced throughout this course as it applies to the subject matter. The material presented in this course satisfies NH Electrical Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work will reinforce and promote the application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisites: ETEC120M AND math135m or permission of the Program Coordinator.

BIOL110M - Human Anatomy and Physiology I This is a comprehensive course in the anatomy and physiology of the human body. It presents current in-depth information in basic molecular and cell biology as well as human cells, tissues, and organ systems. This first of two courses includes molecular biology which covers DNA and RNA structure and the formation of proteins, as well as basic cellular respiration. It encompasses the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and sensory systems. Laboratory work augments lecture topics and includes the study of fresh and preserved specimens, models, microscopy and human physiology. Prerequisites: Successful completion (grade C or better) of high school level Biology and Chemistry or permission of the instructor.

WELD213M - Metallurgy This course is an introduction to the science of Metallurgy and its application to the welding of various metals. The course includes theoretical studies as well as laboratory exercises. The concepts covered will include: identification of metals; grain structures; heat treatment processes; quench mediums and effects of mass on quenching; composition of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys; microscopic examination of metals; hardness, spark and tensile testing; and the effects of carbon and alloy content on heat-treatments and welding. Prerequisite: MATH111M; Corequisite: MATH135M.

ARTS120M - Digital Photography This course provides an introduction to the principles and application of pixel-based photography and students are required to provide their own DSLR camera or equivalent. Utilizing digital equipment, industry standard editing applications that correspond with traditional darkroom techniques and rules of composition, students will produce creative images based on modern and traditional photographic genres. A brief history of photography will be introduced with emphasis in critique and contemporary issues. Students will utilize today’s industry standard applications as the primary image-editing tool. The lab component includes both editing and off-campus/individual photography assignment completion. (Fulfills Fine Arts requirement).
