NUR 350 - Promoting Shalom with Cross-cultural Populations

(1 credit)
Based on a Christian worldview, this 1- credit seminar examines transcultural nursing theory from a theoretical, scientific and ethical perspective, along with logistics for the in-country experience, dimensions of global health care and social justice. Emphasis is placed on cultural values, beliefs, norms and practices and their influence on the lived experience of health and illness. The in-country experience provides students opportunities to explore and engage another culture and participate in the nursing and health care delivery system. Emphasis is placed on nursing as a human science, performing art and healing ministry to promote shalom with diverse clients in acute care and/or community- based settings. Learning experiences include service-learning, experiential learning and faith reflection.

Note: Course is completed prior to enrollment in GEN350.
