1 MN-NP GRADUATE COURSES Course Descriptions & Objectives NURS 504 RESEARCH AND EVIDENCE-INFORMED PRACTICE (3) The purpose of this course is to build foundational knowledge and skills in searching the literature, critically analyzing research and synthesizing evidence, and applying this evidence to issues of relevance to nursing practice. 1. Describe the nature of evidence and its contribution to knowledge development in nursing. 2. Identify research that is relevant to a particular problem or topic area in nursing. 3. Systematically assess and evaluate the quality of this research and the usefulness of the evidence it provides. 4. Synthesize and interpret this evidence to develop justifiable conclusions and identify knowledge gaps. 5. Apply strategies for using this evidence to address specific nursing practice goals and issues. NURS 505 STATISTICAL LITERACY IN NURSING (3) Statistics, a perplexing subject for many students, is an important means of communication in science and in much of everyday life. Statistics arise in everything from opinion polls, to survey results, to the latest nursing and health-related research. Understanding the fundamental concepts that underlie statistics is critical to success in the everyday world of nursing. This course is designed, not as a primer in data manipulation, but as an introduction to a scientific approach to thinking. It is aimed at beginners with limited mathematical skill. The goal here is to promote appreciation and comprehension of statistical information rather than competence in statistical techniques, per se. Some computational techniques will be addressed to facilitate understanding of the underlying concepts. The course is constructed to meet several objectives. Of concern is the development of comprehension of statistical thinking and basic quantitative data analysis. Upon completion, students should be able to better cope with the flow of information and claims commonly encountered by nurses with advanced standing. Such competence is necessary for making informed choices, for assessing the opinions of others, and for making reasonable suppositions about good nursing practice. The focus on evidence-based, or evidence-informed, nursing practice rests, in part, on knowledge of statistics. 1. Demonstrate working knowledge of basic statistical terms and notation 2. Demonstrate working knowledge of graphics (tables, graphs, figures) commonly used to 1
2 communicate in nursing. 3. Interpret statistical information commonly presented in nursing and other relevant health research literature 4. Critically evaluate nursing research claims 5. Detect some misuses of statistics 6. Enhance interpersonal collaborative skills in order to perform and critique health research using statistics. NURS 506 HEALTH PROMOTION IN PRACTICE (3) Nurses, nurse practitioners and other clinicians can be highly influential in fostering health promotion in clinical and community practice settings. Nursing 506 examines the role of health promotion in diverse practice contexts. Class members will explore various health promotion strategies, approaches and interventions. Emphasis is on how to adapt health promotion strategies, approaches and interventions in ways that take the social and economic contexts of peoples lives into account 1. Identify assumptions and values that underpin various conceptualizations of health promotion 2. Critically analyze current recommendations for health promotion, harm reduction, and illness prevention 3. Discuss the social and economic contexts that influence people s engagement with health promotion 4. Describe how health promotion interventions, strategies and approaches can be implemented in clinical practice 5. Discuss the role of advanced practice nurses in integrating health promotion to clinical and community practice settings NURS 507 PHARMACOLOGY AND THERAPEUTICS IN PRIMARY CARE (3) This course will examine the clinical application of drug therapy with an emphasis on the drugs commonly used in primary care settings. Mechanisms of drug actions will be reviewed with the goal of understanding therapeutic and adverse effects, drug interactions and relevant considerations for illness management and patient education. Emphasis will be on clinical decision-making and on applying evidence-based information to case studies that span a variety of age groups and clinical conditions. Legal and ethical considerations of prescriptive authority and practices will also be examined 2

Demonstrate knowledge of current legislative and ethical issues surrounding prescriptive practice for nurse practitioners working in Canada NURS 508 PATHOPHYSIOLOGIC PROCESSES IN ILLNESS (3) The purpose of this course is to provide the learner with the theory and knowledge necessary to understand human physiological responses in health and illness. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the normal anatomy and physiology, the pathophysiology and the adaptive responses underlying common acute and chronic conditions found in the Canadian population. In addition, the influence of age, gender, ethnic background and socioeconomic status will be reviewed for the selected illnesses. The course will involve classroom instruction, clinical case study discussions and take-home assignments. Lecture topics and case studies are chosen on the basis of common causes of mortality and morbidity for Canadians. 1. Describe the normal anatomy, physiology and physiological alternations in relation to specific clinical conditions and disease processes that affect Canadians 2. Describe the epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of specific disease processes 3. Describe the influence of gender, ethnicity, age and individual characteristics on the course of selected clinical conditions and disease processes 3

It is a time to combine all of these aspects of learning and practice the nurse practitioner role under the supervision of a physician or a nurse practitioner. Students are expected to be self-directed learners and to identify their learning needs, articulate how they could meet their needs and develop a plan to meet those needs within their practicum time. The course involves 7 weeks of full time practice. Although many students will practice far from campus and may be the only student in a practice site, communication with faculty will be maintained on an ongoing basis through s, telephone, Connect discussion and face to face contact with a clinical site visitor. Communication with student peers will be maintained through Connect discussions. The aim of NURS 578 is to integrate the CRNBC Nurse Practitioner Competencies into practice while under the supervision of a physician or nurse practitioner preceptor. As the goal is to achieve entry to practice (as a nurse practitioner, family) level competence, the course objectives are the CRNBC competencies.

Apply principles and theories of ethics: analyze cases from primary care practice for ethical, risk management and legal issues 11. Articulate the range of issues relative to collaborative and inter-professional practice involving the NP role, physicians, other advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, and other health care professionals, and strategies for maximizing team outcomes 12. Articulate stages of transition from novice to expert and environmental elements and resources for successful transformation 13. Identify resources and strategies for ongoing professional growth, advanced knowledge and skills, strategies for maintaining personal health and balance as a primary care provider and ways to contribute to the growth of the NP profession as a whole 9
10 NURS 596 PRIMARY CARE / CULMINATING PROJECT (3) This course is a project that addresses a focus area for nurse practitioners. The focus may be, but is not limited to the following: improving an area of NP practice; work with a patient population receiving NP care; an innovation in NP practice; exploration and clarification of an issue affecting NPs; an aspect of interdisciplinary practice or a political activity that impacts NP practice. The project will demonstrate a thorough knowledge of the topic, use of the literature, and an evidence-based approach. Students are encouraged to begin thinking about the project in the first term of the program. OUTCOMES: The project may take the form of program or policy development, a presentation to a target group or professional conference, the design of innovative techniques for the delivery of patient care, a paper for publication, or a collaborative interdisciplinary effort that affects practice. Other possibilities will be considered on an individual basis. 10
