NRSG 2121

Students will explore the profession of nursing to distinguish how nurses embody and project a professional presence. They will recognize the diversity in nursing roles and that all nursing is guided by Professional Standards, Practice Standards, and a Code of Ethics. Students will also begin to recognize ethical and legal implications related to nursing practice. Through recursive writing processes, students will explore regulation of nursing practice, nurses' roles, competencies, scope of practice, and various theoretical perspectives to develop their own professional identity as novices. Students will engage in a variety of discipline-specific assignments, including pre-writing, drafting, peer reviewing, revising, and editing of an academic paper, to develop their professional identity.
