This course builds upon the student’s knowledge of nursing and provides the requisites required for practice as a community health nurse. The focus is on health promotion, disease prevention and maintenance of health, which is the core of community-based care. Selected concepts such as evidence-based care that contribute to the foundation of community-based nursing will be discussed. The course will examine historical perspectives, the value of community health, the nurse’s present day professional expectations and accompanying changes in responsibilities, accountability for practice and ethical and transcultural considerations. The curriculum will focus on specific contemporary community health issues including communicable diseases, mental health and preparedness for bioterrorism.

Students will use this forum to work on a collaborative project. Students will choose a scientific article and will work around it on a research paper. The option of choosing your own article is feasible, but only upon your instructor approval. Please, work on this project with a partner and the make sure all your contributions are made through this forum. If you still don’t have a partner, notify your instructor and I will do my best to pair you with someone. From this point on, your attendance will be monitored mainly through your participation on this forum.
