Nursing in Community Health (N404)
(05/23/2016-07/29/2016)
Course Memo
The course expands upon the communal concepts of professional nursing presented in previous levels. The knowledge of therapeutic communication and group process is utilized by the student in the community setting. Independence and self-direction, which have been gained through successful completion of previous clinical and theory experience of increasing complexity, are necessary tools for the less structured community health care environment. Cultural differences are addressed in theory and clinical experience to allow the student to develop an understanding and acceptance of different values, lifestyles and religious and ethnic backgrounds. Care of the individual, family or group is addressed with focus on the welfare of the community or population as a whole.
