Nursing Major: Change in course title, Change in credit hours, change in course descriptions,

Justification:
This course is proposed in order to strengthen student’s theoretical understanding of nursing
as a discipline, profession and science. Lack of this content was identified as a weakness in
the curriculum. In order to integrate the content this course replaces two 1 hour seminars, Ethos III and
Ethos IV
NUR 381: Ethos III
Course Pattern: 1 lec. hr. 0 lab hrs. 1 cr. hr.
Prerequisites:
Corequisites:
Description: In Ethos III, the contextual and philosophical elements of nursing as both a scientific

and philosophical views and professional nursing practice. Evolution of a personal philosophy and
vision of the profession is fostered.
NUR 191: Ethos IV
Course Pattern: 1 lec hr. 0 lab hrs. 1 cr. hr.
Prerequisites: NUR 381
Corequisites: NUR 498
Description: In this final seminar, concepts explored previously in the series are synthesized,
culminating in the articulation by students of a personal philosophy of nursing. Methodologies which
foster analysis and critical thinking, encourage the dialectic and promote self-evaluation are utilized.
Proposed:
NUR 320: Conceptual and Theoretical Thinking in Nursing
Course Pattern: 3 lec hrs. 0 lab hrs. 3 cr. hrs.
Prerequisites: NUR 181
Corequisite: Nur 197
Description: This course examines the concepts that form the philosophical and
theoretical basis of nursing science. The content is leveled to provide undergraduate
students a foundational understanding of nursing as a discipline and profession,
the nursing metaparadigm, fundamental patterns of knowing, borrowed theories,
nursing theories, critique and evaluation of theories. Special emphasis will be placed on
the relationship between nursing philosophy, knowledge, research and practice.
