Nursing Science offers specialized subjects that are essential to the nursing profession, and which teach how to maintain and promote human health, help patients recover from illness, and support safe and comfortable care. In Basic Nursing, students learn the fundamentals of nursing. Through lectures, exercises, and practice-based education, the nursing classes that are offered focus on stages of human development (maternity, pediatric, adult, and geriatric nursing), on particular circumstances and places (psychiatric and home care nursing), on gaining a broader sense of nursing (nursing management and international nursing), and on the health of the people living in the community (community health nursing and health education).
