Transcript Block two students may not miss more than one clinical or lab day

 Please
check if you have a message under
grades /student forms- if you have been tardy
or absent, there will be a form you need to read
& reply to via email
 If
your cumulative average is below 76%,
schedule a meeting with your assigned faculty
per clinical group, if you donm’t know who this
is, email me
Block two students may not miss more than one clinical or lab day the
entire semester. This means, if the student misses a lab day they
cannot miss any additional days in lab or clinical. In addition,
habitual tardiness can result in an absence and/or dismissal from the
program. Example: if the student is late to clinical or lab three times,
they will receive an absence. If the student continues with being tardy
for an additional three times, he or she will earn an additional
absence. At this point the student will be removed from the program.
Students are discouraged from leaving clinical or lab early because
this is also considered as a tardy (Please see acknowledgement form
on Canvas and sign as instructed.)
Lab/clinical Absence: Tardiness times three is equal to one
absence. More than one Lab or clinical absence jeopardizes
successful achievement of course competencies.
 Standards
of Professional Conduct
(Nursing Student Handbook):
 The
nursing faculty believes that standards
of professional conduct are an inherent part
of professional socialization and expect
students enrolled in the nursing program to
adhere to the standards. All students are
expected to follow the “Standards of
Professional Conduct” described in the
Student Handbook.

Disruptive Behavior:
Disruptive behavior includes any activity that
interferes with or creates a negative or dangerous
learning environment.
This includes talking in side-conversations
during lecture and any behaviors disrupting the
learning of other students.
Cell phones and pagers must not be audible while in
class, nursing practice laboratory, or clinical setting.
Wait for a break to make or return calls.

 What
are glial cells?
 Why do we care about astrocytes &
oligodendrocytes?
 What do you know about nerve
regeneration?
 CNS nerves vs PNS & Why?
 What is the initiation of a neuronal
message called?
 What do you know about
neurotransmitters?
 Excitatory
 Inhibitory
 Affected
by drugs & toxins & conditions
 What is clinical relevance of the
neurotransmitters acetycholine, amines,
amino acids, neuropeptides?
 What
are the components?
 Note: the “brain” primarily
refers to the
cerebrum, brainstem & cerebellum
 Right
& Left Cerebral Hemispheres
 Divided into four lobes: frontal, temporal,
parietal & occipital
 What do theses lobes do?!
 What else is in the cerebrum?
 Includes
midbrain, pons, & medulla
 Reticular Formation located here
 (relays sensory info-influences control of
spinal motor neurons)
 Reticular Activating System
(sleep-waking)
 Centers for sneezing, coughing,
hiccupping, vomiting, sucking &
swallowing
 Coordinates
voluntary movement, trunk
stability & equilibrium
 Receives
info from cerebral cortex,
muscles, joints & inner ear, influences
motor activity
 Circulates
within subarachnoid space that
surrounds the brain, brainstem & spinal
cord
 Allows
fluid shifts from central cavity to
spinal cavity & carries nutrients
 Changes
in rate of production or absorption
results in change in the volume of CFS that
remains in central canal
 Includes
all the neuronal structures
outside of the CNS: spinal & cranial
nerves & associated ganglia
 Includes
 Spinal
portions of the ANS
Nerves- combination of of motorsensory nerves

 How many?
 What do they do?
 How are they tested?
