The emphasis of this course is on the care of persons with acute medical-surgical and acute holistic health crises. Concepts of holistic care are highlighted throughout classroom and clinical experiences. The content will focus on the use of the nursing process to assist clients in crisis. 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. Students are expected to function as self-directed learners who correlate nursing/scientific theory and concepts with identifiable research problems in varied environments.
