NUR 181 Mental Health Concepts

This mental health nursing course is designed to further develop the nurse's role as an entry-level healthcare provider. Concepts integral to the individual, nursing, and healthcare domains build on prior knowledge and are demonstrated through increasingly complex exemplars. New concepts relative to mental health are introduced. Emphasis is placed on concepts such as sexuality, grief and loss, cognition, behavior, development, self, violence, safety, health promotion and disease prevention, leadership, and ethical and legal standards. Classroom learning experiences are student-centered, incorporate active learning strategies, and enhance the student's ability to apply theory to practice. Clinical experiences emphasize the safe performance of nursing practice within a variety of healthcare settings. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and attitudes essential to provide safe nursing care incorporating the concepts taught in this course.
