B. Provide a rationale for the new course. The rationale should include the following item.
1. Statement of the major focus and objectives of the course.
The major focus of this two credit travel course is to provide nursing students with an opportunity to study nursing history, and compare nursing education programs and health care delivery systems of the United States and the United Kingdom. It allows students to become immersed in a different culture for a short time, assists them in developing cultural sensitivity, and provides scholarly learning activities specific to their major. Students will tour the Florence Nightingale Museum, the Old Operating Theatre Museum and Herb Garret, and St. Bartholomew’s Hospital Archives and Museum to trace the historical development in nursing and nursing interventions. They will also tour the St. Elizabeth and St. Thomas Hospital to learn about the nursing education and health care delivery system in England. The economic and political aspects of nursing and health care differ significantly between the United States and the United Kingdom and qualified nursing staff will meet with students to discuss these issues with them. There will be extensive student/faculty interaction, processing time, as well as learning opportunities. Students and faculty will meet three times before the trip to discuss the itinerary, prepare for travel, and to review the reading materials required for the course. Students will complete worksheets and reflective journals during the travel program, and will meet to debrief and process their day with faculty. There will also be free time for students to tour, sightsee, attend cultural events, and enjoy the educational opportunities available in London relevant to nursing.
2. Statement specifying how this course will contribute to the departmental curriculum.
This undergraduate nursing elective course would add to the existing pool of upper division nursing electives which are required in the nursing major. The course has been approved by the Undergraduate nursing curriculum committee and the Nursing Faculty Organization committee. With the addition of the dual nursing major admission, additional electives are needed to meet the required electives for the major.
3. Courses which may be dropped, if any, if this course is implemented.
No courses will be dropped.
C. Provide a statement of the impact of this course on other departments, programs, majors, and minors.
1. Clearly state the impact of this course on courses taught in other departments. Does this course duplicate the content of any other course? Is there an effect on prerequisites?
There would be no impact of this course on courses taught in other departments. The course does not duplicate the content of any other course. There would be no effect on prerequisites for the nursing major.
2. Would approval of this course change the total number of credits required by any major or minor of any department? If so, the department must indicate which departments are affected and explain carefully the effects of the course.
The approval of the course would not change the total number of credits required by any major or minor in any department.
3. If this course has an impact on the major or minor of any other department or any program, it is the responsibility of the department submitting the course proposal to send written notification to the department(s) or program(s) affected. State clearly which other programs are affected by this proposal and whether the other departments have been notified and/or consulted.
Not applicable.
D. If this course is also being submitted for inclusion in the University Studies Program, the form Proposal for University Studies Course and appropriate approval form must also be completed and submitted according to the instructions on that form.
This course is not being submitted for inclusion in the University Studies Program.
Note: If any of the requested information is missing, the proposal will not be reviewed by the A2C2 Course and Program Proposal Subcommittee or the Graduate Council but will instead be returned to the department.
