The focus of this capstone is a topic important to many domains in neuroscience. Different topics will be covered in different semesters. This course has two major components: (1) instruction and practice on scientific writing of research papers and proposals, and instruction and practice on oral presentations; (2) Integration of content in basic and clinical neuroscience. The course will allow students to follow issues in neuroscience from cellular and molecular levels to translation and application in human life. The emphasis is on synthesis and application of material learned in the neuroscience major. Note: This course is limited to neuroscience majors in their senior year.
Prerequisite:
Neuroscience 1051, 2121, 2122, 2222, 3087 and a major in Neuroscience

1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Neuroscience majors are encouraged to gain first-hand experience with research as provided by
Independent Study and may take up to 8 independent study credits. Independent Study in Neuroscience 2 follows Neuroscience 4182, Independent Study in Neuroscience 1, and can be taken in the same laboratory or in another lab of a neuroscience faculty member at Temple University. Faculty members sponsoring this course are listed on the Neuroscience web site: www.temple.edu/cla/neuroscience. Students will carry out supervised neuroscience research by observing and participating in ongoing research. This course requires the student to spend 3-4 hours per credit per week of a 14-week semester in the lab.
Prerequisite:
Neuroscience 1051

This course focuses on the role of the nurse in health promotion and disease prevention for individuals in the community through the use of interventions that support lifestyle changes. The links between lifestyle issues such as nutrition, stress management, physical activity, and disease prevention are explored. Specific topics will include: key trends in the U.S. diet; diet-related disease; weight management approaches; food sources, policies and their implications; physical activity and other behaviors; supporting therapeutic lifestyle changes; physiological stress factors; and life expectancy and quality issues. A fieldwork experience provides an opportunity for students to practice communication techniques and apply theoretical concepts within a community setting focusing on education for health promotion, risk reduction, and disease prevention across the lifespan.Note: Restricted to BSN majors only.
Prerequisite:
NURSING 1001
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to the organisms that cause infectious disease, the mechanisms involved in disease production, and methods for prevention and control. Physical and chemical procedures for sterilization and disinfection as well as specific and nonspecific body defenses against disease.

3.00 Credits
This is sequentially the first course of the nursing major. Nursing informatics, a nursing specialty field that integrates information sciences and computer technology in nursing science and practice, is introduced. Emphasis is placed on the knowledge and skill set required to obtain, manage, and communicate information needed to assure quality nursing care delivery across diverse settings. Health information systems available in direct patient care situations as well as evolving systems employed in management of health records are examined. Students will be introduced to the electronic medical record and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. Through course projects, assignments, and other learning experiences, students will develop skills to effectively administer nursing care in technologically complex environments. The course is designed to instill an appreciation for the contribution of nursing informatics knowledge and skills in support of life-long learning in the profession.
Prerequisite:
All Preprofessional Courses. Restricted to RN-BSN majors only
-
3.00 Credits
Principles of nutrition: the effects of diet on the health status of individual and community systems. Fundamental concepts of nutrition, i.e., nutrients, function, food sources, needs, and metabolic processes.

In this course students will develop an understanding of systems theory as it is applied to client systems, nursing practice and the delivery of healthcare. Theories from biological and behavioral sciences provide a foundation for examining dimensions of client systems in their cultural context. This course focuses on care of the client system in the acute care, home care and the community settings. There is an emphasis on health promotion, risk reduction, and disease prevention. Specific alterations in health as exemplars will be selected for classroom discussions of disease management. Note: This course is for majors only.
Prerequisite:
All Preprofessional Courses
