The general science unit is a supportive department to the nursing departments in the college. It provides students with scientific courses that enhance their understanding of nursing science. These courses include basic sciences, such as general chemistry, the foundation of organic and biochemistry, microbiology, and finite mathematics.
The course focuses on measurement, theory of matter, including the periodic table, aqueous reactions, chemical formulas, electrolytes, acids, bases, and salts, energy relationships in chemistry, chemical thermodynamics, properties of solutions, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, and electrochemistry.
The course provides students with the foundations of organic chemistry and biochemistry. The structural and molecular formulas of organic compounds, along with their classification into functional groups, are presented. The synthesis, metabolism, and utilization of essential body nutrients are also covered
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to microbiology, emphasizing its historical development and its critical role in human health and disease. Students will explore the major groups of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, protozoa, algae, and viruses, with a detailed focus on their classification, morphology, physiology, and growth characteristics. The course also provides a comparative analysis of the structures of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Core topics include microbial biochemistry and genetics, with a focus on the molecular mechanisms underlying virulence, pathogenicity, and antimicrobial resistance. In addition, the course introduces foundational principles of microbial ecology, immunology, epidemiology, and public health, offering a broad understanding of microbes in both clinical and environmental contexts.
The course covers several areas of mathematics, including the algebra of sets, simple coordinate systems and graphs, a geometric approach to linear programming, basic ideas of the simplex method, probability and its applications to medical science, and statistics and its applications to medical science.
