Advanced Departmental Elective Courses
Our advanced departmental electives provide specialized knowledge and skills that enhance career opportunities in specific areas of nursing practice.
Advanced Pharmacology
This course delves deep into drug mechanisms, interactions, and therapeutic applications. Students explore pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and the impact of genetics on drug response. The course emphasizes clinical decision-making based on evidence-based research and prepares students for advanced roles in medication management.
Research Methodology in Nursing
This elective introduces students to quantitative and qualitative research methods specific to nursing practice. Topics include literature review strategies, hypothesis formulation, data collection techniques, statistical analysis, and ethical considerations in nursing research. Students learn to design studies, interpret findings, and apply research outcomes to improve patient care.
Healthcare Quality Improvement
This course focuses on methodologies for improving healthcare delivery through quality assurance and continuous improvement initiatives. Students learn about root cause analysis, performance measurement tools, lean thinking, Six Sigma principles, and how to implement quality improvements in clinical settings.
Ethics in Nursing Practice
Ethical dilemmas are integral to nursing practice. This course examines ethical frameworks, professional standards, legal aspects of nursing, and moral reasoning in healthcare contexts. Students engage in case studies involving end-of-life care, informed consent, confidentiality, and resource allocation.
Nursing Informatics
As technology transforms healthcare, nurses must be proficient in using information systems to deliver safe, effective, and efficient care. This course explores electronic health records (EHRs), data analytics, telehealth platforms, mobile health applications, and cybersecurity issues in nursing practice.
Cultural Competency in Healthcare
Cultural competency is crucial for delivering equitable care to diverse populations. This course examines cultural differences, communication styles, social determinants of health, and strategies for providing culturally sensitive care. Students develop skills to address disparities and promote inclusivity in healthcare settings.
Global Health Issues in Nursing
This elective explores global health challenges and nursing responses at local and international levels. Students examine topics such as maternal mortality, infectious diseases, mental health disparities, refugee care, and global health policy frameworks. The course encourages reflection on how nursing can contribute to global health equity.
Leadership and Management in Healthcare
Effective leadership is essential for advancing nursing practice and improving patient outcomes. This course covers leadership theories, team dynamics, change management, conflict resolution, and organizational behavior in healthcare environments. Students develop leadership competencies through simulations, group projects, and mentorship.
Telehealth and Digital Nursing
With the rapid adoption of digital technologies in healthcare, nurses must understand how to deliver care remotely and utilize digital tools effectively. This course covers teleconsultation, remote monitoring devices, virtual reality applications, artificial intelligence in nursing, and digital literacy for patient engagement.
Advanced Clinical Skills Lab III
This advanced lab experience allows students to refine complex clinical procedures under supervision. Activities include advanced wound care, intravenous therapy, emergency response protocols, and simulation-based learning scenarios that replicate real-world healthcare challenges.
Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department's philosophy on project-based learning is rooted in experiential education and student-centered inquiry. Projects are designed to mirror real-world problems faced by healthcare organizations, allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge in practical contexts while developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Mini-projects begin in the third year and involve small groups of students working on specific nursing challenges identified through community needs assessments or clinical observations. These projects require literature reviews, data collection, stakeholder engagement, and presentation skills development.
The final-year capstone project is a comprehensive endeavor that spans multiple semesters. Students select a topic relevant to current healthcare trends or gaps in practice, conduct an extensive review of literature, design a feasible intervention, implement it in a clinical setting, and evaluate its effectiveness using appropriate research methods.
Faculty mentors guide students throughout their project journey, ensuring alignment with learning objectives and providing feedback on progress. Evaluation criteria include project proposal quality, methodology rigor, data interpretation, ethical considerations, presentation clarity, and overall contribution to nursing knowledge or practice improvement.
