Detailed Departmental Elective Course Descriptions
Departmental electives provide students with advanced knowledge and specialized skills in niche areas of nursing practice. These courses are designed to align with current trends and demands in healthcare delivery.
Advanced Cardiac Nursing (NUR-303)
This course focuses on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of cardiovascular diseases. Students learn about cardiac monitoring techniques, pharmacological interventions, surgical procedures, and post-operative care strategies. The course includes case studies and simulation exercises to enhance practical understanding.
Emergency and Disaster Response Nursing (NUR-304)
This course prepares students for managing mass casualty incidents, natural disasters, and public health emergencies. It covers triage systems, emergency response protocols, resource coordination, and psychological support strategies during crises.
Public Health Nursing (NUR-305)
This elective introduces students to population health dynamics, epidemiology, disease prevention, and community health interventions. Students engage in fieldwork projects that involve assessing community needs, designing health programs, and evaluating outcomes.
Oncology Nursing (NUR-401)
Focused on cancer care throughout the continuum of illness, this course covers tumor biology, chemotherapy administration, symptom management, psychosocial support, and palliative care principles. Students gain hands-on experience in oncology units and participate in research projects.
Pediatric Nursing (NUR-402)
This course explores child development, growth and nutrition, childhood illnesses, immunization programs, and family-centered care approaches. Students observe pediatric patients across various stages of development and participate in simulation labs designed for infants and children.
Geriatric Nursing (NUR-303)
This track addresses the unique health needs of older adults, including chronic disease management, cognitive impairment, fall prevention, and end-of-life care. Students learn gerontological assessment techniques and participate in community outreach programs targeting elderly populations.
Mental Health Nursing (NUR-302)
This course emphasizes psychiatric care, mental illness prevention, therapeutic communication, crisis intervention, and rehabilitation strategies. Students gain exposure to diverse mental health conditions and learn evidence-based treatments for patients with psychological disorders.
Leadership and Management in Nursing (NUR-404)
This elective equips students with leadership skills needed to manage healthcare teams effectively. Topics include strategic planning, resource allocation, quality improvement initiatives, conflict resolution, and change management in healthcare settings.
Ethics in Healthcare (NUR-405)
This course examines ethical dilemmas in healthcare practice and policy-making. Students explore topics such as informed consent, confidentiality, patient autonomy, cultural sensitivity, and bioethics principles in clinical decision-making.
Research Methodology and Statistics (NUR-406)
This foundational course introduces students to research design, data collection techniques, statistical analysis methods, and literature review processes. Students complete a small-scale research project that contributes to nursing science and practice.
Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department strongly believes in project-based learning as a cornerstone of effective nursing education. Projects are structured to simulate real-world scenarios, encouraging students to apply theoretical knowledge to practical situations while fostering collaboration and innovation.
Mini-Projects
Mini-projects are assigned during the second and third years, allowing students to explore specific topics related to their interests or current healthcare challenges. These projects are evaluated based on research quality, presentation skills, and relevance to nursing practice.
Final-Year Thesis/Capstone Project
The capstone project is a comprehensive initiative undertaken in the sixth year. Students select a topic under faculty supervision, conduct independent research or clinical evaluation, and present findings to a panel of experts. The project integrates all learned concepts and prepares students for advanced roles in nursing practice or academia.
Project Selection Process
Students are guided through the selection process by faculty mentors who match their interests with available projects. Projects may originate from clinical needs, research gaps identified by faculty, or community health issues requiring attention.
Evaluation Criteria
Projects are assessed using rubrics that evaluate clarity of objectives, methodology, data analysis, critical thinking, ethical considerations, and presentation quality. Faculty members provide constructive feedback throughout the process to ensure continuous improvement.
