CATALOG DESCRIPTION:
Emphasis is on the development and implementation of the role of the masters prepared nurse in the areas of health care policy, organization, financing, ethics, human diversity, and social issues. Domains and competencies both common and unique to the advanced practice specializations are introduced. These include: advanced role relationships, the teaching-coaching function, managing and negotiating health care delivery systems, social, cultural, and political forces affecting the health care system and the leadership role advanced practice nurses must assume to influence ethical and responsible domestic and international health care policy. All students completing this course will articulate the domains and acknowledge the competencies of the advanced practice role CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK: The Master of Science in nursing program is built upon eight (8) processes which comprise the advanced nursing practice: (a) advanced nursing practice, (b) advanced theoretical application, (c) inquiry, (d) theoretical analysis, (e) health promotion and disease prevention interventions, (f) social, economic, and political interpretations, (g) cultural understanding, and (h) professional role development.

*Note: Graduate students are required to achieve a minimum of 84% on all tests/exams. If a student does not attain an 84% as an average for all tests/exams, the student will receive an earned grade consistent with the averaged test/exam score for the course, and may not progress to the next core/specialization course. Students are accountable for all course specific evaluation methods, such as quizzes, papers, presentations, etc. Credit earned on written assignments, quizzes and presentations will not be applied to the final test/exam average if the student has not achieved an unweighted average of 84% in all tests/exams. GRADING SCALE A = 92-100 B = 84-91 C = 76-83
A grade of 'C' or below in a course requires the student to successfully repeat the course. The School of Nursing does not use a +/- grading system. Please Note: Students are responsible for policies delineated in the Barry University Graduate Catalog as well as, the Division of Nursing Graduate Student Handbook 2012-2013. The Handbook is available on the Barry Student Web (http://student.barry.edu/) . Students are expected to attend class, nursing labs, be punctual, and participate. Failure to meet these standards may impact on the course grade. Faculty are available to meet with students to discuss assignments, to serve as a resource, to provide feedback on drafts of assignments, and to support students in being successful in the course.
