Social Science Social science is one of the cornerstones of the nursing profession (Rafferty, 1998). Nurse Teaching Plan Paper
The course will introduce learners to research and implementation of evidence-based practice. For example, the cause will equip learners with skills useful in translating research findings into practical applications. According to the American Nursing Association (2011), the inability of nurses to translate research into nursing practice is one of the hindrances to the successful implementation of evidence-based practice. Therefore, the social science course is appropriate for the learners because by introducing them to research, it directly promotes the future implementation of evidence-based practice. The course also aims at introducing the learners to other hindrances to evidence-based practice and how they can overcome these. The graduate nurses from the Seven Sea School of nursing will thus be comparatively more competent, competitive and capable of improving the safety and quality of healthcare in their areas of work. Social science introduces learners to issues of economy and sociology (Rafferty, 1998). Nurse Teaching Plan Paper
Knowledge of economy and sociology will be instrumentals in helping learners develop leadership skills. For example, the future nurse will need a bit of economic and sociology knowledge to take leadership of all the departments in healthcare institutions. This course is linked to the outcome of the curriculum, which is to produce nurses who demonstrate excellent leadership skills and who will take leadership of their health institutions in the future. The knowledge of social science would also help the learners to develop critical thinking skills that will enable them to take lead in reforming the health sectors. The ability to demonstrate leadership skills will be evaluated by examining how the learner is participating in a multidisciplinary team in real healthcare set up. Microbiology Microbiology is one of the nursing courses with the greatest impact on the healthcare provision (Durrant et al, 2017). It equips learners with skills that are applicable in the practical nursing environment and give experiences of what nurses do in the healthcare institution. The course is comprised of topics such as the collection of specimens, preparation of the specimen, administration of medicine and communication of laboratory results to patients and other professionals (Durrant et al, 2017). The course is aimed at equipping learners with diverse skills necessary for addressing healthcare challenges in their future professional practice. The course will be taught through lectures and practical experiment in a laboratory set up. The aim is not only to introduce learners to the theoretical knowledge but to afford them the opportunity to relate theory to practice and to enable the learner to begin to find practical application of theoretical knowledge on their own. Microbiology course also introduces learners to techniques for implementation of evidence-based practice (Durrant et al, 2017). For example, learners are introduced to the pieces of evidence available from previous research in the field of microbiology. The learners then begin to appreciate the evidence and device strategies for their practical application in nursing practice. The course introduces learners to topics such as infection control and disease transmission (Durrant et al, 2017). These topics equip learners with skills for the promotion of community health and prevention of transmission of infectious diseases in the community. This course is linked to the outcome of the curriculum which is to produce competent nurses. It is in the microbiology course that the learners are taught in depth the kind of services they will discharge to the community in a practical set up (Durrant et al, 2017). Nurse Teaching Plan Paper
The learner will be evaluated through written examination, oral examination and through his/her participation in addressing nursing issues in a working healthcare institution or a healthcare promotion program. The main challenge for graduate nurses is the difficulty involved in making the transition from being a student to being autonomous nurse professionals (American Nursing Association, 2011). Nurse Teaching Plan Paper
By taking practical microbiology course, the learner should find it easier to make this transition because they have already practiced as students what they are expected to do in a healthcare institution.
