NURS 801 Seminars in Nursing History and Nursing History Research
The purpose of this course is to introduce the graduate nursing student to legacy moments in nursing history with the intent on assisting the student to connect nursing's past to its current state in terms of nursing education, role/responsibility development, practice contributions/trends, clinical competency mastery and specialty, collaboration with other healthcare providers, and impact on patient/family outcomes. During this course, the graduate nursing student will also be introduced to both descriptive and qualitative approaches to nursing history research, the role of academic nursing history centers in nursing history research, and to the use of archival nursing data.
