NRSG 306 - Community Health Nursing

4 credits (Hrs: 4 lec.)
The intent of this course is to provide the student with an opportunity to apply the nursing process to the care of communities. The course explores concepts in population-focused care, levels of prevention and levels of practice (individual/family, systems, and communities).  Health status indicators for Montana counties and the Healthy People 2020 national health care agenda are researched.  Basic concepts of environmental health, emergency preparedness, economics, and epidemiology are discussed.  Students explore community coalitions and work groups that interface with vulnerable at risk populations in the community.  Evidenced-based public health nursing interventions are explored which apply to population-focused practice.

Prerequisite(s): ASN Degree, RN Licensure.
