DSN 1015 Developmental Skills for Nursing
Students who take the TEAS exam as placement may be required to enter the DSN program. This pass/fail course serves to provide students with further preparation in several areas critical to success in college and as a nursing student. In this course, students will review general student success topics such as time and stress management, study skills, reading skills and comprehension, and creating concept maps. Students will also be introduced to test-taking strategies and other exercises to further strengthen critical thinking skills. Students develop and apply the skills and strategies from this course through assignments utilizing time and stress management skills, reflection papers, completion of critical thinking exercises, and the development of a plan of action for success in one's first professional nursing course.
Notes
DSN 1015 may not be repeated, and if the course was required to be taken based on the student’s TEAS results, the student must successfully complete DSN 1015 with a ‘P’ to proceed into their first nursing course.
