NUR 430 Community and Population Health: Senior Capstone

This course focuses on the healthcare needs of communities from the perspective of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. Students explore a variety of frameworks such as epidemiology, health care systems, and health care planning as conceptual bases for diverse community health nursing roles. Students will integrate the knowledge of nursing research, leadership and management, and nursing theories while embedding themselves in a community-based care setting.  The final community experience places emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention. The course ends with a summative Senior Capstone Project that measures skills in communication, information dissemination, and the application of evidence-based research. Completing the course work provides evidence of the student achieving the core competencies of professional nursing practice, Program, and Graduation competencies to be awarded a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
