NRSG312 Population-Based Nursing (Clinical Course)
Population based nursing expands the scope of nursing practice from the individual to groups ranging from families, to communities and to a global perspective. This course will introduce the student to concepts of public health science and blend these with an approach to nursing care as it is delivered to populations.
Concepts will include epidemiology, levels of health promotion and disease prevention and the role of the public health nurse in a diverse global society. The course will include a real world clinical assignment with population-focused, community-based care delivery. All components of the didactic and clinical assignment must be completed to successfully complete the course. Failure to successfully meet these requirements will result in a course failure. Students must earn a grade of C- (70%) or higher in all courses within the RN to BSN degree program to pass the course in the program.
