Women's Health, Maternal and Newborn Nursing

Catalog description

In this course students approach maternal-newborn and women’s health nursing through the lens of primary health care and a family-centered framework. Students use the nursing process, critical thinking skills and an evidence-based approach to deliver human dignity affirming and individual empowering care to newborns, mothers, and women across the life span. Students use a global perspective to promote person-centered, equitable care for diverse women and newborn populations. The clinical experience, in a variety of complex health care settings, provides exposure to information technologies, opportunities for thoughtful practice, and for competency development in clinical reasoning and patient care management.
