5.00 Credits
Students will use knowledge from Nurs 314 to assess and promote wellness for healthy individuals and families in community settings. Students participate in learning activities in the Learning Resource Center, in a variety of community-based settings, and in post clinical conferences. The course celebrates the body, mind, and spirit of the student in nursing and recognizes that learning transforms. In the process of transformation, reflection provides the key to understanding.
-
4.00 Credits
This is the first of a two course pathophysiology and pharmacology series in the BSN curriculum. The course is designed to improve the learners understanding of how alterations in normal human anatomic structure and physiology function may impact various organ systems, body homeostasis, and medication management. A student-center case-based active learning model will be utilized to exemplify basic and clinical pharmacology principles for common outpatient disease processes. Nursing pharmacology fundamentals, including principles of drug administration, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, adverse drug effects, drug interactions, and medication errors are introduced. These principles form the foundation for applied pharmacology case studies. Drug class prototypes will be reviewed using an organ system case-based pathophysiologic approach to therapeutics. The case studies illustrate key pathophysiologic and pharmacology concepts thus providing students an opportunity for critical thinking, synthesis, integration, and application of course material to therapeutic decision making, planning, and managing care for individuals.
-
2.00 Credits
This course focuses on individuals as members of families/communities who are seeking care within contemporary health care system. Social, economic, political and cultural dimensions of health care delivery are identified and related to healthcare quality. The concept of complexity and its impact on health care is examined. The focus of this course is helping you develop an understanding of the different facets of our health care system so that you have an appreciation of what your patients experience is and can work more effectively as a nurse.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to descriptive and inferential statistics. It includes the statistical procedures used most frequently to analyze quantitative data for health science and nursing research. Emphasis is placed on the conceptual understanding and correct application of statistical tests, as well as the correct interpretation of statistical results. Some mathematical calculation will be necessary. The ultimate goal will be for the learner to understand statistical reasoning and become familiar with the correct use and interpretation of statistics.
-
4.00 Credits
This course focuses on the development of nursing competence in planning and managing care for individuals and families with alterations in health status. The course stresses the integration of physiological, pathophysiological, pharmacological and developmental concepts as the foundation for professional nursing practice. Theoretical foundations for the provision of care to individuals and families with alterations in health related to fluid and electrolyte balance and to the reproductive, urinary tract/renal, musculoskeletal, and digestive systems, and some of the more common mental health problems are addressed. Use of theory and research based assessment strategies and nursing interventions required to provide care to these individuals/families in health care organizations are emphasized. Critical thinking and diagnostic reasoning are stressed.
-
5.00 Credits
Using knowledge from NURS 351, this course focuses on the provision of care for individuals and families with health care needs related to fluid-electrolyte disturbances, the endocrine, reproductive, urinary tract/renal, musculoskeletal, and digestive systems. Emphasis is placed on the development of self-discovery and the meaning of experience as a reflective practitioner. Students participate in learning activities in the Learning Resource Center, in a variety of clinical settings within healthcare organizations, and in post-clinical conferences.
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on developing workplace environments that encourage a positive and effective workforce. Concepts regarding teamwork, group dynamics, conflict management, leadership skills and strategies of negotiation, collaboration, and delegation in CAS, along with concepts of reflective practice will be emphasized. Legal issues, JCAHO standards, and information technology will be examined, as well as their ramifications for privacy and confidentiality issues, patient safety, and quality nursing care.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides an in-depth analysis of pathophysiological, psychobiological and pharmacologic concepts at the cellular level that underlie selected disease states and health deviations to provide a foundation for nursing practice.
-
3.00 Credits
This is the second of a two course pathophysiology and pharmacology series in Gonzagas BSN curriculum. This course builds on the content and concepts learned in the NURS 316 pathophysiology and Pharmacology I course. It is designed to address more complex pathophysiologic processes which are often encountered in hospitalized acute care patients. A student centered case-based active learning method will be utilized to exemplify advanced clinical pharmacology principles for common inpatient disease processes. Drug class prototypes will be reviewed using an organ system case-based pathophysiologic approach to therapeutics. The case studies illustrate key pathophysiologic and pharmacology concepts thus providing students an opportunity for critical thinking, synthesis,integration, and application of course material to therapeutic decision making, planning, and managing care for individuals.
-
2.00 Credits
This course considers organizations as complex work environments that have implications for workplace safety and health care errors. Nursing roles in the delivery and maintenance of safe, quality care are emphasized.
