NURS-1 Courses:

NURS 8114 - Theoretical and Scientific Foundations of Nursing

5 credits

In this course, students focus on the integration of scientific, philosophical, and theoretical concepts as the basis for the highest level of nursing practice. They examine the scientific underpinnings for nursing practice, including middle range nursing and interdisciplinary theories, and they explore the interrelationship among knowledge, research, and practice. Students also explore clinical inquiry, models of evidence-based practice, implementation science, and translation of evidence for practice change and quality improvement. Students explore their role as a DNP-prepared nurse in the translation of evidence to promote social change and address Social Determinants of Health (SDOH). Students utilize Johns Hopkins Translation of Evidence Tools to address a gap in practice and to appraise and synthesize evidence. Students also develop their own personal philosophy of nursing practice.
