NURS 401 - Community and Public Health Nursing

Semester Hours: 4

The NUR 401 course covers contemporary evidence-based practices of professional nursing care for the improvement of individual, family, community and global health. The Registered Nurse will use critical thinking strategies to explore complex nursing situations outside of an institutional or acute-care setting. The course will expand the student’s knowledge of determinants of health, primary health care, public health nursing roles and activities, and health care settings within a community. Topics covered include ethics, transcultural care, epidemiology, environmental health, public health, disaster preparedness, and care of a person in the community with developmental needs.
