Healing & Episodic Health

This course provides opportunities for Nursing students to focus on individuals' and families' experiences with health and healing during illness through exploring various episodic and complex health challenges while utilizing strength-based nursing and evidence-informed practice. This exploration enables the learners to a) develop understandings of people's meanings and experience of illness by supporting their involvements in own care, b) explore barriers and facilitators to determining people's strengths, capacity-building and empowerment, and c) continue developing clinical judgment, critical inquiry, competency, collaboration, problem solving, health teaching and health promotion.
