As a part of your learning in the Nursing Care of Children Course, we have developed a variety of activities for you to supplement your learning in the textbook. Some of these activities are worksheets on class content that you will need to bring to class completed in order to get credit. A number of these are posttest exercises that you will need to complete on Blackboard after viewing required videos. Each activity is worth so many points and the total will contribute to 13% of your total grade. If the activity is not turned in by the assigned date, no credit will be given.
