Abstract

The high demand for nurses abroad in the last two years, 2003 and 2004, causes a phenomenal rise of enrollment in the College of Nursing and the sprouting of nursing schools.
As physics educators, we have to adjust to current trends and design physics lessons appropriate for the student's course and mathematical level.
This set of experiments is uniquely designed for the Nursing students. The teaching-learning approach is more conceptual and less mathematical than engineering physics experiments. The materials used exposes the students to what he/she would encounter in hospital duty. These experiments relate physics to nursing practices.
