NURSE 485 - Application to Practice

Institution:

University of Missouri-Kansas City

Subject:

Description:

This course is the first of two clinical application courses designed to comlement didactic content from the four-course block sequence (N481-N484) within the core-nursing component of the baccalaureate program. Within this course the student will discover that the knowledge they are acquiring in didactic course work can be immediately applied to practice. Working in cohort teams, the students will progress through the first three phases of teamwork as they practice community and organizational assessment, problem identification, action planning, and start implementing their action plan as new skills and knowledge are applied to real issues and problems in the delivery of nursing care. The students will integrate an increasingly complex knowledge base with an emphasis on developing effectiveness: a) personally; b) interpersonally; and c) in the health management of populations of clients within the complexity of community based organizations, practice settings, and communities. Student cohort groups-in collaboration with preceptors from community based organizations and faculty - identify field experiences, projects and direct care experiences based on real need. The processes and outcomes of those experiences will be collective and provide solutions for the health care community. Projects and experiences may therefore be complex, extending across two semesters. Prerequisites/Corequisites: N481, N482, N483 Offered: Fall 2 hrs
