NURS 111 - The Discipline of Nursing


Credits: 3 Total Hours: 45
Restricted to students in Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing
Learners examine the discipline of nursing and the relationship between nursing practice, theory, and research. Learners explore contemporary understandings of the discipline of nursing and the body of knowledge that defines it, by approaching knowledge for nursing as an intersection of relationship and inquiry, research, and evidence-informed practice. Learners are introduced to nursing theorists, the nursing metaparadigm (e.g., conceptualizations of person, health, and environment), and nurses’ ways of knowing, including informatics and its role in guiding practice and enhancing patient outcomes. Learners develop skills in accessing, reviewing, and appraising evidence, promoting community and societal health.
