Course Orientation and Introduction

Welcome to Nursing 750 and 751, and your introduction to graduate level theory. I hope you will enjoy this course and taking it on the Internet. NRSG 750 is what traditionally is known as the "didactic" and NRSG 751 the "application/practicum" portion of the course. The two have separate course numbers so that the clinical credits can easily be counted with other clinical courses you take in the program. You will find that N751 is very different from other clinical courses you will take.

Here We Go!!

To start the course activities please read my biography. This will give me a chance to tell you a bit about myself and for you to share a bit about yourself with me. You will have your first opportunity to use one type of form that is used in various activities in the course. Try it out and see how it works! I look forward to hearing from you.
