This is the first in a two- or three-course series (NUR 339, NUR 341, and NUR 439). Over the course of two, 3-credit or three, 2-credit semesters, students will engage in partnership with a specific community. This sequence of courses incorporates the concepts of partnership building, risk identification, and health promotion within a communitybased context. Students will collaborate with community partners to develop an understanding of both short- and long-term needs of the community. Problem posing and problem solving will come from the community. Students will engage in ongoing community assessment, support communities in developing long term interventions/approaches, and engage in evaluation of community level practice. Students will identify individuals and families within their communities who would benefit from individual and family-based nursing assessment, planning, intervention, and evaluation. Students will work with health care providers in these communities to assess the need for and to augment the services available. Students will engage in both formative and summative evaluation over the course of their interaction with the community. Students will consider issues of continuation and termination as they work with individuals, families, fellow students, and community partners. Prerequisite or concurrently: CON 356. Cr 2.

3.00 Credits
This course focuses on the nursing profession and the process of knowledge development within the profession. The intent is to provide participants with opportunities to explore the processes of inquiry in nursing. Participants will have opportunities to explore various modes of nursing inquiry, including scientific, philosophical, and historical. Praxis, or the development of knowledge through the cycle of acquiring experience, reflecting on experience, and enhancing practice is central to understanding what influences nursing. Relationships between practice, theory, and research are explored. Four foundational concepts: personal meaning, ways of knowing, time/transitions, and context/culture serve to focus critical reflections in this course. In recognizing multiple ways of developing knowledge, participants have the opportunity to explore how practice may differ within varying perspectives. A USM online course fee of $25.00 per credit hour will be charged for this course. Cr 3.
