TRU 113 - Self & Society Seminar: Nursing


The purpose of this course is to cultivate the habits of curiosity, good scholarship, ethical consideration, and community engagement needed for students to grow as liberally educated lifelong learners. Students will explore the notion of the self and how each individual’s role is influenced within the broader context of a major or occupation, relevant groups, the local community, and society. The course serves as an introduction to critical multi-disciplinary, and intercultural thinking. 

This course will examine self and society through the lens of nursing and its past, present, and future. Students will compare and contrast the impact of social structures upon health care of individuals and communities, as well as the health care professionals providing care. Topics for discussion will include the historical evolution of nursing (including education, licensure, scope, image, and uniqueness of the discipline), with a particular emphasis upon the ethics of caring and research in growing a body of disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge.

Prerequisite: Nursing major.
