An extension of fundamental principles developed in previous acute care nursing units will enable students to examine the complexities of medical-surgical nursing in various environments. This unit will also focus on methods to promote early discharge and reduce readmission rates. Integration with clinical practice will be achieved through placement in an acute care environment.
