The goal of the course is to offer practice in devising scientific hypotheses, conducting experiments to test these hypotheses and anlysis of the results of these experiments. By being personally responsible for research progress, students will learn the scientific method and gain experience in scienctific communication. Along with experimental research, another part of this course will be a journal club. Assigned readings may be very recent or foundational readings from the past. Journal clubs are common in graduate schools and medical schools and are one of the best ways to become scientifically knowledgeable in a topic. In this case, the topic will be the field of research in which you are engaged. The discussion of journal articles will enhance your understanding of the greater scientific context of the laboratory research you are undertaking.

This course is designed to introduce the novice-nursing student to the concepts and domains basic to nursing practice and to the role of the nurse as a member of the therapeutic team. Based on Patricia Benner's novice-to-expert conceptual nursing model of skill attainment, the student is guided in the domains of the helping role and the teaching and coaching function. Using Maslow's Hierarchy of Need Theory as a framework, the student will begin to develop the holistic assessment skills that are the basis of direct patient care. In addition, the skills required for novice level therapeutic intervention will be practiced in the learning laboratory where competency will be evaluated. These skills will then be applied and supervised by expert nursing faculty in structured client situations. The student will also begin to assess the health care system and explore the ethical and legal parameters of nursing practice.

The components of the course are designed to introduce the novice student to the domains of practice in the areas of maternal-child, psychiatric-mental health, and pediatric nursing. Students will be guided by expert nursing faculty in these areas as they work with clients and families undergoing changes throughout their life spans in institutional and community settings. Students will continue to gain experience in all of the domains of nursing practice using Patricia Benner¿s novice-to-expert nursing model and Maslow¿s Theory of Human Needs as organizing frameworks for the care of individuals and families with selected physical and psychosocial problems.
