NUR 1900 - Family Centered Maternity Nursing


4 Credit(s) Hours: 14 hrs. One-half semester

This course presents facts, principles and concepts relevant to the care of individuals and families during the reproductive years of the life cycle and introduces the student to family-centered maternity nursing. Recognizing the impact of pregnancy on the individual and family, the student develops an awareness of the physiological and psychosocial needs of the patient that may occur during the childbearing years. This is addressed through Quality and Safety for Nurses (QSEN) Initiative incorporating the concepts of patient centered care, teamwork and collaboration, evidence-based practice, safety, quality improvement and informatics, the nursing process, and the Categories of Client Needs.

Classroom instruction and laboratory sessions, at the college and in selected health agencies, are held weekly throughout the semester. Classwork for the typical week will consist of: five (5) hours of classroom instruction, one (1) hour college laboratory/simulation, and eight (8) hours health agency experience. It is essential for students to engage in additional practice for the maintenance of skills. Provisions are available for additional time in the college laboratory for practice.
