The course is designed for a class size of approximately 40 undergraduate nursing students, meeting two hours weekly. This course uses population focused nursing processes to address and implement care given to diverse populations across the lifespan. Knowledge and applications are designed to promote positive outcomes to vulnerable populations by disease management, risk reduction, prevention, and health promotion. Course Outline Template (See attached document) Course Outline Information Aspects of the Course This eight-week introduction to Community Health Nursing course will benefit the undergraduate nursing student by gaining knowledge and a more in-depth understanding into the foundations of community health, public health nursing, and the role of the BSN prepared nurse in promoting community health. The course will facilitate evidence-based active student- learning by introducing specific concepts to Community Health & Population-Focused Nursing each week, along with opportunities to apply hands-on practice. Throughout the course, the undergraduate nurse will gain insight and practice skills to use in the application of the nursing process with patients of varying socioeconomic status, culture and age groups. Students will become familiar with the history, foundation theories, nurse models, politics, policy, ethics, epidemiology, communicable disease and cultural competency associated with community health. The student will put learning into practice by examing diverse cultures and influences on health, creating a community assessment, identifying vulnerable populations, examining health literacy and using the nursing process to promote healthy living in diverse populations. Students will examine global healthcare concepts, infectious disease prevention and preparing for pandemics. The course is relevant to the nursing profession. Nurses practice in schools, company workplaces, homes, prisons, free-standing clinics, hospitals, assisted living facilities, and other community places. The focus of this course is learning and understanding the important influence of nursing in Community and Public Health. The course will prepare the undergraduate nurse to use the acquire skills/knowledge to collaborate and set forth goals toward the improvement of community health issues, in a variety of different settings. Cultivation of the Course During the course, students will be introduced to a module each week, containing specific content related to Community Health and Population-Focused Nursing. These modules are designed to meet course objectives and will facilitate active student learning with evidence-based strategies. Weekly key concepts align with module topics to cultivate student comprehension, as they are intended to build upon one another, throughout the course. Weekly Module Topics Week one. The course syllabus, assignments and classroom expectations will be discussed, allowing students the opportunity to ask questions. The foundation, history, concepts and misconceptions of public health will be discussed. Students will learn through group discussion about the role and responsibilities of the nurse in community health. Students will be encouraged to discuss their own thoughts about how nurses influence community health. Week two. Students will gain insight by lecture of the influencing factors of community and public health. Examples of influencing factors will be reviewed, such as public health policies, political influences, ethics & ethical dilemmas, economic factors, cultural diversity, and access to healthcare systems. Students will become familiar with the BSN’s role in advocating, influencing, and developing health policies. Students will participate in the examination of case studies, applying ethical principles and identify the influencing factor(s) and possible barriers to quality healthcare. Week three. Students will be presented with basic principles of epidemiology, communicable & non-communicable diseases, how surveillance is done to monitor disease spread and environmental effects on population health. Students will actively learn by visually applying information and epidemiology data through concept mapping. Students will use this visual tool to organize assessment data, identify health concerns, and determine appropriate nursing interventions for optimal health outcomes. Week four. Students will participate in team-based learning by researching data to complete a pre-class windshield survey assignment, reflecting their individual community. In class students will discuss and compare the surveyed assessment data (community demographics: population numbers, risks, prevalent disease, morbidity, mortality rates, etc.). This interactive project will provide an overview of the student’s community conditions, identifying problems or trends within the community that could negatively affect community health. Week five. Community Health Nursing Theories and Nursing Model examples will be introduced through cooperative learning. This stra
