NUR 011 - Professional Nursing Seminar I

Semester Hours: 1
This course facilitates students’ ability to conceptualize nursing practice and the experiences of individuals, families, communities, and populations living with health and illness. This seminar is the first of two required professional nursing seminars students will take during the first years of their nursing program while taking their required arts and science courses. The seminars expose students to the significant aspects of nursing’s history and major documents that hold nurses accountable for their practice with patients/populations and explore the unique identity of baccalaureate-prepared professional nurses as members of an interprofessional team who are committed to diverse patients and families/significant others living in health and illness. This first seminar discusses the nursing program’s mission that is in concert with Hofstra Northwell’s missions and will prepare them as professional nurses who will “prepare students to become lifelong learners.” The course introduces core themes of the undergraduate nursing program: innovation, humanism, advocacy, leadership, scholarship, and inquiry. It emphasizes the major purpose of Nursing’s Social Policy Statement which is the foundation of professional nursing practice and outlines the nursing profession’s commitment to the public it serves. This course facilitates students’ ability to conceptualize nursing practice and the experiences of individuals, families, communities, and populations living with health and illness and emphasize evidence-based research knowledge from nursing science, including grand and middle-range nursing theory, and medical science
