Building on a sound foundation derived from the liberal arts, sciences and nursing, this integrated theory/practicum course explores evidence based fundamental concepts and skills related to the provision of safe and competent nursing care for culturally diverse populations. The practicum component provides students the opportunity to integrate theory with clinical practice, using the nursing process with adult patients, to develop clinical reasoning via simulated and experiential learning opportunities in a variety of clinical settings. The course framework incorporates the Quality and Safety Education for Nursing (QSEN), the Essentials of Baccalaureate Nursing Education for Professional Practice, and the current American Nurses Association Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice (2015).
