Document Subject:
Nursing Major: Change in Credit Hours, Change in Prerequisites, Change in Course Name, Change in course Description.
Justification:
In the old curriculum there were two community health practica. This was a left over from the old
curriculum where Family Nurse Practitioners were educated at the undergraduate level.
This is no longer true and there is no longer a need to include a practicum solely for the
child (pediatric) content. This is not any longer needed at the undergraduate level because it
happens at the graduate level. This is consistent with our benchmarking with other programs.
Current:
NUR 487 Community Health Practicum I
Course Pattern: 0 lec hrs. 6 lab hrs. 2 cr. hrs.
Prerequisites: NUR 396, NUR 398
Description: This is one of two community practica which emphasizes integration of
professional nursing roles and community health concepts. The nursing process is utilized
as a systematic approach to foster adaptation to stimuli within a dynamic environment.
Therapeutic interventions emphasizing preventative strategies are applied to young adult
through elder populations in unstructured settings,
Proposed:
NUR 485 Community Health Practicum
Course Pattern: 1 lec hrs. 6 lab hrs. 3cr. hrs.
Prerequisites: NUR 285 and NUR 393(except for RN/BS Completion and Accelerated BS/MS students); NUR 397
Pre/corequisites: NUR 486
Description: The community health practicum emphasizes integration of professional nursing
roles and community health concepts. The nursing process is utilized as a systematic approach
to foster adaptation to stimuli within a dynamic environment. Evidence based interventions
that emphasize preventative strategies are applied to persons across the life span in
unstructured settings.
