MISSION OF NAVAL HOSPITAL CORPS SCHOOL To train Sailors to perform as basic Navy Hospital Corpsmen. The Student Handbook series was written to be used in the fourteen-week curriculum of the Basic Hospital Corps School. There are three Handbooks in the series: Handbook I - Fundamentals Handbook II - Emergency Care Handbook III - Nursing Care The Student Handbooks contain reading and study material to supplement the classroom lectures and demonstrations conducted during the course. Each topic in the course has a section in one of the Handbooks. The text is followed by a Worksheet, which provides study questions based on the learning objectives. The Worksheet questions are similar to those on the written examinations. Tips for Success, eight pages of study techniques, test taking strategies, and suggestions for time management follow the Foreword in Handbook I. The Student Handbooks are best used to read and prepare for upcoming classroom lectures, to re-read and fill-in the worksheet assignments and finally, re-reading as many times as necessary in preparation for written examinations and laboratory performance. Students who keep their Handbooks after graduation will find them to be an excellent study guide for advancement examinations and an outstanding reference during future duty assignments. Study smart or study hard, the choice is yours.
