NU 551 - Public Health Nursing
Credit(s): 8
This course is designed to assist the student to develop as a professional nurse advocate and provider within the public health system. The focus is on professional ethics, health education, anticipatory guidance, coordination of present and emerging systems of care and the efficient use of resources using primary, secondary, and tertiary strategies. The student incorporates theoretical and empirical knowledge from the humanities, natural (including ecology and epidemiology), social, and nursing sciences in the context of the community as client. In collaboration with diverse clients, aggregates and populations, the student will design, manage, coordinate, and provide evidence-based care to promote positive health outcomes. Students will analyze the social, legislative, and political activities that influence public health at local, state, national and international levels of population health. Leadership strategies and social justice advocacy will be implemented to improve health outcomes.
