Description:

Description: This course has dual foci. The first is to provide an opportunity to analyze theoretical concepts, principles and processes from nursing and related disciplines to guide advanced clinical practice and role development. These theories reflect important contributions from both the nursing profession and non-nursing disciplines. The course provides a historical perspective and analysis of nursing theorists from Nightingale to emerging theorists and includes an introduction to theories fundamental to advanced practice nursing, such as role theory and family nursing theory. The second course emphasis is an exposure to relevant historic, current and future practice issues inherent in the varied roles of the advanced practice nurse. Both state and national legislation, issues and trends are addressed as they relate to the effective and appropriate role of advanced practice nurses within the rapidly changing healthcare system.
