Professional Issues in Nursing: Course Description
UMass's course, 'Professional Issues in Nursing,' provides an excellent foundation for registered nurses interested in pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. The course focuses on issues that affect Nursing practice, leadership and management. An introduction to study skills, such as online learning skills, time management and style manuals, prepares students for the often rigorous nursing programs ahead. After this introduction, discuss relevant Nursing topics ranging from the ANA Code of Ethics and legal issues faced by nurses to socio-political influences on health policy and how race, culture and ethnicity affect health care. Nursing students also explore management topics, including budgeting and fiscal planning, and leadership topics, like how to implement change and effectively delegate responsibility in a fast-paced healthcare environment. This course was initially developed for UMass Boston by Professor Kathleen R. Polley, R.N MO.
