Description:

The framework for the care to be given will reflect concepts including the use of leadership, management, and public/population health nursing concepts to manage and improve health. Students will collaborate, coordinate, and advocate as they use the nursing process independently and interdependently to focus on the complex problems of individuals, families, communities, populations, and systems.
