NU 110 - Concepts of Professional Nursing in Society


Credits: (4 credits)

This course introduces the student to the philosophy, conceptual framework, and curriculum of the Nursing Department and to the profession of nursing. The Roy Adaptation Model is introduced, and students explore its major related concepts. Social influences such demographics, war, economics, politics and Christianity are examined in relation to their influences on the development of the profession. Through exploration of the literature, students are introduced to selected nursing leaders and their legacies to nursing. Students engage in critical thinking exercises and share their perceptions of nursing as a profession of service and as an intellectual endeavor. Students engage in a Problem-Based Service-Learning project to practice their therapeutic communication skills and to meet the identified needs of community-residing older adults.
