NURS 411 is a required course in the prelicensure nursing program at California State University, Fullerton. This course includes management of the adult with complex health alterations. The course enrolls approximately 75-80 students annually. After completing the NURS 411 course students are then placed in a capstone course where they must connect all concepts and use critical thinking and time management learned from this course. The NURS 411 course assists in improving critical thinking skills which are necessary not only in the course but in the capstone course and prepares them for the national licensing examination following graduation.
