These tools are diagrammed by small overlapping circles denoting the interrelationships among the tools. Intervention modes used by nurses include primary, secondary and tertiary prevention. Development and adaptation are the processes of concern to the discipline of nursing about persons within their environments. A triangle at the top of the diagram represents the holism of health including body, mind and spirit. The overlapping circles indicate the interrelationship's of body, mind and spirit and the influence of environment on health.
Health is the goal of nurses working with persons and their environments.
The CCN curriculum plan consists of Lower and Upper Division courses. During the first four semesters of the curriculum plan, designated as the Lower Division, students take required sciences, humanities, and other courses that help to prepare them to function as a professional nurse. During enrollment in lower division, students must apply to be considered for promotion to Upper Division. Deadlines for application will be posted. Policies related to promotion to Upper Division are included in the Academic Information section of this Handbook.
