A little something about me:  I have been a nurse for over 15 years and in the healthcare field for over 20 years.  I am enamored with the field of nursing, have been since I can remember.  I love that, as a nurse, one is positioned to have such a profound impact in the lives of humans and in healthcare delivery as a whole.  I am particularly passionate about improvement and leadership.  My husband and I have three children and one cute pup.  We live in Jamestown, North Dakota.  My favorite things (outside of nursing and family) are reading, gardening, and learning.

I have the benefit of experiencing quite a bit of online learning throughout my adult life.  I know how valuable your time is.  As such, it is important to me that the courses you take are worth your time, so please bring your feedback so that we can make improvements. 

 

Description

This course is an in-depth examination of concepts of nursing, the nursing role, and related issues that influence health care delivery. Both the role of professional nursing within the health care delivery system as well as the role of the individual nurse as an integral member of the health team are analyzed. Nursing is viewed as a dynamic growing profession that is striving to define and develop its unique body of knowledge through nursing theories. Student-directed seminars are used to study current nursing issues. Prerequisites: Nrsg 424; Nrsg 425; Nrsg 497. Spring
