Preparing Nursing Students with Christian World Views
A major focus of the Traditional and Modular RN to BS Programs is preparing nurses who give culturally appropriate care. A component of this focus is the offering of elective courses in which students travel with faculty into other cultures.
These experiences are designed to introduce students to the culture, health care needs, and the health care system of a different culture. Students will have the opportunity to compare missionary nursing with community health and institutional nursing in the U.S. The students develop individual learning outcomes with guidance from the instructor, making use of available resources. The course encourages personal and spiritual growth through integration of faith, learning and service. Students are required to do collateral reading, write journals or papers, and attend preparatory classes held during the previous semester.
