Community Health Nursing, HD 13 (30704)
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.
A variety of professional, historical, theoretical, ethical, and health related issues relevant to contemporary nursing are discussed. Students will use a variety of professional tools such as in-class forums to debate relevant health care issues, the resume, a portfolio, and template for a project proposal for enhancement of professional development.
My Projects
This is my professional self-reflection of how I met the different objectives for my Community Nurse course. The clinical facility that I was located at for my clinical rotation was Sunset Park Senior Center in, Brooklyn, New York. I was excited about experiencing being a community nurse. I feel that this course have made me gain a new aspect about patient care.
