Students must be on the State of Iowa Direct Care Worker Registry.  Indian Hills Community College, as a community centered institution, strives to meet the needs of all people for post-secondary education. The College believes every opportunity should be provided for each student to develop to their maximum potential in order that they might become a valuable and contributive citizen in our complex and ever changing society. The Department of Nursing, as an integral part of Indian Hills Community College, believes its main purposes are: 1) To provide a program of nursing education that builds on previous experiences and affords the student the opportunity to acquire attitudes, knowledge, and skills necessary to become an effective member of the health team and serve the health needs of society; and 2) To provide nursing education programs for two levels of practitioners-practical and associate degree nurses, and to provide opportunities for articulation from the practical into the associate nursing program. The faculty of the Department of Nursing believes that learning is an individual and continuous process resulting in a behavioral change which can be measured, and that learning is facilitated and affected by motivation, self-discipline, and structured experiences. We further believe that the role of the instructor is to identify learning needs, guide the learner, and establish an environment conductive to learning. We believe the nursing student is an adult learner, and as such, shares the responsibility for his/her learning. We believe that the best knowledge base for nursing practice is a combination of general and competency-based education that allows the student to develop into an effective, compassionate, and responsible practitioner. We believe nursing is a caring profession that involves promotion, maintenance, and restoration of self-care status. If return to self-care is no longer possible, nursing provides the client continuous support and assistance to adapt to new levels of self-care. The nursing process, incorporating principles from the biological, social and behavioral sciences, is utilized to formulate an appropriate plan of care. We believe critical thinking skills and effective communication techniques are essential abilities the nurse must possess in order to support the client in the promotion, maintenance, and restoration of self-care. Nursing is a dynamic, interactive process that results in a therapeutic relationship that requires sensitivity to and respect for the privacy and dignity of each individual. We believe practical nursing education includes liberal arts and nursing courses. The nursing courses will focus on the development of basic nursing skills centered around the normal physiological responses of the body as well as less complex pathophysiology. Upon graduation, the practical nurse will be able to assume entry level responsibility for basic client care under the direction of a registered nurse or other qualified autonomous health professional. We believe practical nursing education may also serve as the foundation for articulation into the associate degree nursing program. We believe associate degree nursing education continues to build upon the educational foundation provided in the practical nursing program by increasing the complexity of study. We acknowledge that psychological, physiological, and social factors strongly influence health. The knowledge of these sciences must be progressive and dynamic in order to prepare the nurse to function in an ever-changing social and health care environment. Graduates receive a diploma in Practical Nursing upon successful completion of this program and are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses."},"ceterms:accreditedBy":["https://credentialengineregistry.org/resources/ce-20b0d337-c2de-43b5-a994-d3f4bfc70b78"],"ceterms:occupationType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2061.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"29-2061.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Licensed Practical and Licensed Vocational Nurses"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Care for ill, injured, or convalescing patients or persons with disabilities in hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, private homes, group homes, and similar institutions.
