NUR 335 - Experiential Learning: Maternity and Women’s Health Nursing

3 credits
(9 hrs practice/wk)
Prerequisites: NUR 326, 327; Nursing majors only
Corequisites: NUR 334
Application of evidence-based nursing interventions aimed at promoting, guiding, and shaping the health care environment for women, mothers, infants and families builds on previously learned foundational nursing concepts and skills as well as concepts from the social and biological sciences. Within an ethical and legal framework, nursing interventions are designed to reflect professional values, accountability and advocacy. Clinical experiences in both acute care and community settings will offer the learner opportunities to care for women within a family context across the lifespan. Standards of care published by the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN) serve as the guide for practice.
