In this course, students examine the discipline of nursing and the relationship between nursing practice, theory, and research. Students explore contemporary understandings of the discipline of nursing and the body of knowledge that defines it by approaching knowledge for nursing as an intersection of relationship and inquiry, research, and evidence-informed practice. Students are introduced to nursing theorist, the nursing metaparadigm, and nurse's ways of knowing, including the essential of informatics, and its role in guiding practice. Students develop skills in accessing, reviewing, and appraising evidence promoting community and societal health.
