This capstone course focuses on the theory and practice of community health nursing using an open systems framework. It blends the components of public health science, which incorporates the principles of epidemiology and the art and science of nursing. The emphasis is on the community as client for a population-focused practice of nursing. Students conduct assessments of individuals, families and groups to identify health needs and commonly encountered health problems within the population. Research-based findings are critically examined and applied in the process of planning, implementing and evaluating nursing interventions at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels of prevention. Using the many community-based resources available for nursing practice, students are provided the opportunity for clinical experience in a wide variety of settings to advance their skills in delivery of care to populations and in communicating and collaborating with clients and health care team members for the overall improvement in the health of the community. Prerequisite: NSG 330. Prerequisite/corequisite: BIO 435, NSG 420.

The focus of this course is on role development of the nurse as educator and is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to educate various audiences in a variety of settings with efficiency and effectiveness. It is a comprehensive coverage, both in scope and depth, of the essential components of the education process and the principles of teaching and learning. Designed to increase students’ proficiency in education of others, it takes into consideration the needs and characteristics of the learner as well as how to choose and use the most appropriate instructional techniques and strategies by which to optimize learning. Although the theories and concepts addressed in this course can be applied to any audience of learners, the focus is on patient education. An understanding of the basics of teaching and learning allows the educator to function as a “guide by the side” and as a “facilitator” of learning, rather than mereas a “giver of information.” This approach enables clients to act asresponsible partners in their own health care. Emphasis is placed on preparing students to assess, teach and evaluate learners at all stages of development based on their learning needs, learning styles and readiness to learn. Students conduct critical analysis of education materials, apply research findings to patient education, and consider the legal, ethical, economic and political aspects of health care delivery on patient education. Prerequisite/corequisite: NSG 330.

Resources can be thought of as anything that an organism needs for survival. While this holds true for all life forms, in this class we will focus primarily on humans and human societies. The consumption of resources often results in a struggle for survival and this competition manifests itself at many levels, from the town and region (which tribes and ethnic groups have access to the best and land and water supply), to the nation (control of the nation’s oil, water, mines) and to the world at large.

Physical Geology is an introduction to the study of the composition of the Earth and the processes that operate internally and at the surface. Students are introduced to basic geological concepts including plate tectonics, volcanoes, earthquakes, geologic time, types of rocks that form the crust and how they form and surficial processes. Three hours lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIO 191, BIO 192 or NSS 121 or permission.

This course describes the interaction of sedimentary, hydrologic and biologic processes at the surface of the Earth, with particular attention to the role of organisms and climate on the formation and erosion of soils. Topics will include sedimentary processes, landforms, surficial hydrology, pedogenesis, fluvial and glacial processes and landforms. Significant fieldwork and mapping applications will be a part of this course. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisites: NSS 205 or permission.

This course is designed to acquaint the student with the phenomenal diversity of life with which we share this planet. To do this, we will refresh the students’ memories concerning evolution and the various mechanisms through which communities of life forms have become adapted to their environment. We will spend some time with taxonomy and biogeography before we can begin to examine the current state of biodiversity as well as future trends. The implications of these trends will signal a stopping point for the course but will hopefully serve as a beginning for the student as they move away from Le Moyne and take a place in society. Prerequisites: minimum of 10 BIO/NSS credits. Not open to those who have completed BIO 225.
