See NURS 584. In addition, women's health nurse practitioner students must achieve competencies in women's health specialty content such as infertility, acute and chronic vulovaginal health issues, gender disparities in health care, early options pregnancy counseling and interventions, caring for women cross-culturally, herbal and homeopathic remedies in well woman care, and LGBT health concerns including obstetrical issues via case studies, self-directed learning and workshops. Prerequisites: NURS 582 and NURS 582A (3 credits)

This course builds upon the principles of primary health care nursing of the adult including the obstetrical client presented in NURS 580, NURS 567, NURS 567A, NURS 582, NURS 582A, NURS 566 and includes the two components of a clinical practicum in women's health (16 hours week) and a clinical decision-making seminar. It is expected that students will become increasingly independent in the delivery of health care services and apply specialized knowledge to the care of women, consulting with preceptors and other team members as appropriate. Faculty meets regularly with students and preceptors for the purpose of evaluating students performance and successful attainment of course objectives. Written feedback of student clinical summaries and conference facilitates this final component of the transition to the masters prepared nurse practitioner role. Corequisite: NURS 566 (4 credits)

The course is designed to expose students to the principles and methods that should be used to determine whether a causal relationship exists between specific doses of an agent and an alleged adverse effect, observed primarily in humans. Integration of principles and methods of toxicology is extremely important since the primary purpose of toxicology is to predict human toxicity. Toxicological data obtained in animal studies must be placed in proper relationship to the exposure observed in human population. The course deals with organ systems and whole target organs, selected classes of toxic agents and the application of toxicological principles are covered. Students are assigned a topic for a short presentation. Course notes: Prerequisites: NURS 404, and organic Chemistry. Nur 422 must be taking prior or concurrent to this course. (2 credits)

Emphasizes the design of the job to fit the worker in terms of both productivity and prevention of injuries. Specific problems are investigated which result from the nature of the job itself, e.g., musculoskeltal disorders including low back pain and repetitive stress injuries of the upper extremity and human error. Fundamental ergonomic topics, such as human physiology, occupational biomechanics, epidemiology, and work place design, are considered in the development of good job design principles. Course Activities: Lecturers and group discussions, and term project analyzing a real world job.

2.00 Credits
This course introduces the student to the essential competencies necessary to provide primary health care to clients of diverse populations. The course addresses the history-taking process with an emphasis on communication strategies. Students engage in study that will assist them in understanding the developmental and cultural needs of clients as they relate to the delivery of primary health care. A holistic approach to the client is stressed with attention to health promotion, disease prevention and management of common health problems encountered in primary care. Theories and conceptual models from nursing and related disciplines are integrated. The cognitive processes underlying diagnostic and clinical decision-making are introduced. Common health issues encountered in primary care are presented in case studies where students implement the process of clinical decision-making. Prerequisites: SHS 570 and NURS 404; Corequisites: NURS 580A, or NURS 571A (2 credits)

1.00 Credits
This course builds upon the principles presented in SHS 570 and is taught concurrently with NURS 580. It includes two components, a clinical practicum and a clinical decision-making seminar. The clinical component consists of laboratory and health assessment workshops where advanced health assessment skills including interviewing, history-taking, and physical examination are refined and practiced. Students work with model patients to learn these skills. Nurse practitioner preceptors guide students in developing expertise in conducting complete health assessments. Students utilize the nursing process in formulating plans for a diverse group of clients with multiple health issues. Conducted in a small group format, the clinical decision-making seminar emphasizes the synthesis of clinical and theoretical information. Using a case study format, information-gathering skills, clinical judgment, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills are analyzed. (1 credit) Corequisite: NURS 580

3.00 Credits
This course provides the student with the clinical practice experience to develop the skills essential to the advanced practice role of nurse practitioner. Assessment and diagnosis of clients with episodic and chronic illnesses and the development of a management plan of care under the supervision of nurse practitioner faculty and preceptors are emphasized. The problem-based learning, case-study format of this course allows students to explore the issues relevant to the assessment, diagnosis, and management of clients with primary health care needs. Students develop goals that guide their clinical decision-making. Evaluation of student progress is made routinely by student self-evaluation and feedback from faculty and nurse practitioner preceptors. Prerequisites: NURS 580 and NURS 580A (2 credits)
