Additional topics include: class libraries, exception handling, event handlers and basic user interface design and validation.
Introduces students to foundational concepts of data, information, and data management. Learners identify and use different types of data models. Learners use Microsoft Visio to create diagrams that illustrate how entities are related. Additional topics include eliminating data redundancy, explaining structures of relational tables, and compiling a data dictionary.
This advanced clinical course requires the student to integrate concepts from all previous courses in the management of groups of clients facing complex health alterations. Students will have the opportunity to further develop critical thinking skills using the nursing process in making clinical decisions. Continuity of care through interdisciplinary collaboration is emphasized.
Prepares learners to perform basic nursing skills under the supervision of a nurse for job entry as a nursing assistant or a home health aide (HHA) in health care agencies. Face-to-face and hybrid classroom, campus lab and clinical instruction are offered at various nursing homes and hospitals throughout the district. Students need to submit an application and complete background check.
This clinical experience applies nursing concepts and therapeutic nursing interventions to groups of patients across the lifespan. It also provides an introduction to leadership, management, and team building.

Analyzes the role of law enforcement and other agencies in responding to and investigating juvenile procedures. Methods and models of prevention and rehabilitation are evaluated.
Introductory course focused on general biological principles, cell structure and function, genetics, organ system anatomy and physiology, behavior, evolution, and ecology. May include dissection of fresh and/or preserved materials.
This clinical experience applies nursing concepts and therapeutic interventions to patients across the lifespan. It also provides an introduction to concepts of teaching and learning. Extending care to include the family is emphasized.
Assist in the ethical animal harvesting process. This process will cover transportation, unloading, and on-site slaughtering. Determine proper documentation and procedures to follow under State Inspection in various locations.
Learners describe primary keys and how to select them. Learners explain normalization and its role in the database design process. Learners apply normalization rules to evaluate and correct table structures. Learners use SQL Server and retrieve information from data tables. Learners use to SQL queries to join tables, aggregate data, and restrict data retrieval.
Explores object-oriented programming concepts and C# .NET syntax and features, with a focus on iterative development and testing. This course uses a variety of resources including Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams to present design principles and concepts. Learners will create console and GUI C# .NET applications which incorporate n-tier design principles and object-oriented design principles and patterns, emphasizing the use of composition over inheritance, interfaces and polymorphism. Additional topics include: advanced event handlers and timers, recursion, sorting and searching algorithms and various data structures.
Focuses on performing the mathematical calculations routinely used in laboratory settings. The learner will explore the concepts of quality control and quality assurance in the laboratory.
Prepares the learner to perform a complete urinalysis which includes physical, chemical and microscopic analysis. The learner will explore renal physiology and correlate urinalysis results with clinical conditions.
