NURS 499

Global Public Health Nursing Practicum

This course is designed for nursing students who have completed or who are currently completing NURS 500. In this course, students will conduct a population health-focused assessment of an assigned population health problem. Students will compare and contrast the epidemiology data and health policy regarding a community health problem and its treatment in the United States and its treatment in another country. In response to the population health assessment, students will develop public health nursing intervention strategies to improve and protect the health status of individuals, families and communities and evaluate the effectiveness of the implemented strategies
