Allied Health/HESC

Change of Course Prefix:

NURS-100: Essentials of Nursing Assisting.

Change the course prefix of NURS-100: Essentials of Nursing Assisting

from

NURS-100: Essentials of Nursing Assisting

to

HESC-100: Essentials

of Nursing Assisting. As a result of the merger with the former LTC

Region I, instruction in Certified Nursing Assisting resulting in a Technical

Competency Area (T.C.A.) in Certified Nursing Assistant is bundled in a

Certificate of Technical Studies (C.T.S.) with Phlebotomy Technician, a

subset of Medical Laboratory Technology (MLTS), and

Electrocardiography, a subset of Health Sciences (HESC). Transferring

the course, Essentials of Nursing Assisting, to the Division of Allied Health

allows completion of credential (i.e., C.T.S. in Patient Care Technology) to

occur within one Academic Division. The course is not designed for

transfer.

 

e)

 

Arts & Humanities/CRJU

 

Program Revision:

Associate of Arts in Criminal Justice. Revise the

Associate of Arts in Criminal Justice. Add: PSYC-290: Forensic

Psychology to the list of choices (15 hours) in Required Courses in Major.

Forensic Psychology is a useful course in the Criminal Justice/Research

field. Total program hours remain the same.
