2.00 - 4.00 Credits
Focuses on the diagnosis and management of health problems in young adults (including late adolescents and emancipated minors), adults, and older adults (including young-old and old-old adults). Emphasis is placed on developing knowledge related to the most common diagnoses and problems across the entire adult-older adult age spectrum in primary care. These include, but are not limited to, ears, eyes, nose, throat, abdomen, neurological, musculoskeletal, and reproductive diagnoses and health problems. In addition, the course addresses issues related to the role of the nurse-practitioner and provides opportunities to discuss these as the student continues the transition into the advanced practice nursing role in primary care.
Prerequisite:
NRS515
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the art and science of the profession as it relates to advanced nursing practice. Progressive, guided instruction into some basic anesthetic principles as well as an understanding of the clinical, ethical, and psychosocial management of the patient receiving anesthesia nursing care. This course also includes the history of the profession and legal aspects relative to contemporary practice settings.
Prerequisite:
NRS501 AND NRS502 AND NRS503 AND NRS504 AND NRS507 AND NRS508 AND NRS520 AND NRS523 AND NRS535
-
3.00 Credits
Provides students with the knowledge and skills to perform a comprehensive community assessment and develop a program for an identified health need of a population. Students will use concepts from nursing theory, epidemiology, cultural principles, and evidence-based practice research to identify a community population need, develop a proposed solution and plan of intervention to reach an improved health outcome. The preparation of a grant proposal to address the community/population need will be a major focus of the intervention.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Focuses on the culturally appropriate planning and preparation of anesthesia with emphasis on patients exhibiting more complicated pathophysiology, requiring additional sophisticated non-invasive and invasive monitoring. In-depth study of biochemical principles and biomechanics associated with these techniques for advanced nursing practice is presented.
Prerequisite:
NRS501 AND NRS502 AND NRS503 AND NRS504 AND NRS507 AND NRS508 AND NRS520
-
3.00 Credits
This is a detailed study of the pharmacological principles of inhaled anesthetics, intravenous induction agents, intravenous anesthetics, local anesthetics, muscle relaxants, and clinically important reactions that may be exhibited as related to advanced nursing practice.
Prerequisite:
NRS518 AND NRS523 AND NRS526 AND NRS535 AND NRS536
-
3.00 Credits
The study of the anatomic structures and related physicochemical mechanisms governing neurologic, endocrine, immune, hepatic, and renal function for advanced nursing practice in anesthesia.
Prerequisite:
NRS518 AND NRS523 AND NRS524 AND NRS525 AND NRS526 AND NRS536 AND NRS537
-
3.00 Credits
Prepares the advanced practice nurse for provision of comprehensive, quality, and cost effective primary care for older adults. Theories of physical aging, normal physical changes of aging, psychosocial needs, and the economic, political, socio-cultural, legal, and ethical issues of aging will be explored. Through both the theory component and clinical practicum the student will learn to recognize, evaluate, and manage geriatric syndromes prevalent in the older adult population. Atypical presentation of illness and clinical issues unique to frail older adults will also be explored.
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
Focuses on the development of advanced population health nursing knowledge and collaboration practice skills essential to integrating theoretical and practice frameworks, and diverse perspectives when designing and implementing health promotion and prevention programs. The graduate student applies epidemiology, community assessment, critical thinking, communication skills, evidence-based population interventions and public health values to plan, implement, and evaluate health promotion and prevention programs for populations and aggregates. The student functions independently and in collaboration with other public health professionals and clients in diverse settings to plan and develop innovative programs designed to meet identified health needs of populations and aggregates. A clinical practicum of 200 hours is required.
Prerequisite:
NRS501 AND NRS502 AND NRS503 AND NRS507 AND NRS509 AND NRS520 AND NRS521 AND NRS522
-
6.00 Credits
Provides an opportunity for the student to apply knowledge gained throughout the program while gaining entry-level competence in the clinical area. Both clinical and professional role issues are addressed in the theory seminar. Clinical issues will include management of complex patients. Professional issues to be addressed will include assessment of organizations as practice settings, quality of care and risk management, and professional responsibilities of practice. These issues include the influence of, and on, health policy, continuing education, the health education of the community, and clinical research. The focus of the course throughout is on developing confidence and competence as an adult/gerontology primary care nurse practitioner.
Prerequisite:
NRS516
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Orients students to anesthesia clinical practice. Students will be provided with experiences in patient interview, assessment and evaluation, charting, monitoring selection, and familiarization with basic anesthesia equipment. Introduction and elaboration of basic chemical and physical principles.
Prerequisite:
NRS501 AND NRS502 AND NRS503 AND NRS504 AND NRS507 AND NRS508 AND NRS520
