NU 401 Healthcare Policy & Ethics for Contemporary Nursing Practice

The first of two integrated required nursing courses in the core curriculum of the graduate nursing programs, this course focuses on history and policy. Current practices in nursing and healthcare are viewed from the past and present as a way to contemplate the future. Building on a framework of critical thinking, students explore through discussion, written critiques, readings, research, and class participation, the history of nursing and medicine, analysis of current policy development, and implications of the past for present and future actions in nursing and healthcare.
