Will you join us?

This professor will teach in up to three primary subject areas: Anatomy & Physiology, Microbiology, and Chemistry. We teach in a lecture/laboratory blended-learning environment that includes online discussions and assignments to provide an enhanced learning environment for students in our Bachelor of Science in Nursing program.

The typical course of instruction may include:

Anatomy & Physiology I-IV with Lab (BIOS-251 through BIOS-256):

This is a four-course sequence in which human anatomy and physiology are studied using a body systems approach. Coursework emphasizes interrelationships between form and function at the gross and microscopic levels of organization.

Topics include:

Basic anatomical and directional terminology, muscle tissues, fundamental concepts and principles of cell biology, history and the integumentary and skeletal systems

Fundamental concepts and principles of the muscular and nervous systems, special senses and the endocrine system

Cardiovascular, immune and respiratory systems

Digestive, urinary and reproductive systems

Microbiology with Lab (BIOS-242)

This course covers basic concepts of microbiology, with emphasis on medically important microorganisms and infectious diseases. The topics studied also include microscopy, microbial growth and genetics, antimicrobial agents, epidemiology and immune system responses to pathogens. Lab exercises emphasize aseptic techniques, isolation and culture of microorganisms, microscopy and staining techniques.

Introduction to General, Organic & Biological Chemistry with Lab (CHEM-120)

This is a survey course that covers the lower division chemistry disciplines of general and organic chemistry and introduces the upper division discipline of biochemistry. The general chemistry section of the course seeks to build an understanding of basic chemical processes and states of matter by starting with the definition of matter and progressing through the atom, molecules, intermolecular interactions, chemical equations and accounting. The organic chemistry section presents the major categories of organic compounds, including saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons and oxygen- and nitrogen-containing compounds. In the biochemistry portion, students are exposed to the four major biological macromolecules with some coverage of enzymes and the central dogma of biology. Lab exercises relate to topics discussed.
