Abstract
In the last few decades, the role of nursing has branched out into new dimensions of patient care, holding a unique and independent place in health care settings. Unfortunately, however, most nursing schools have not made corresponding revisions in nursing courses dealing with bioscientific aspects of nursing knowledge which will be the basis of their understanding of patients' physical problems and how they will implement the nursing process. Our College of Nursing is very aware of the importance of biological science in nursing education, and reinforced its curriculum in a recent curriculum renovation, integrating and focusing on the courses related to bioscientific aspects of nursing. In this article, a brief overview of courses including pathophysiology, pharmacology, nutrition and diet, and microbiology will be introduced.
