Grand Canyon University College of Nursing Philosophy

 

In concert with the mission of the University, the College of Nursing faculty affirms our belief in educating nurses within a dedicated and supportive community of Christian nurse scholars. The nursing programs prepare graduates to provide excellent, holistic care while encouraging a passion for achievement, a lifelong curiosity for knowledge, and pursuit of advanced professional degrees.

The AACN Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practiceguides the curriculum for the baccalaureate program. The AACN’s The Essentials of Master’s Education for Advanced Nursing Practice, Advanced Nursing Practice: Curriculum Guidelines and Program Standards for Nurse Practitioner Education, NONPF and AACN Nursing Practitioner Primary Care Competencies in Specialty Areas, NONPF Domains and Competencies of Nurse Practitioner Practice, and NACNSStatement on Clinical Nurse Specialist Practice and incorporatesEducation provide structure for the curriculum content of the master’s program. The College of Nursing curriculum is designed to facilitate the students’ abilities to creatively respond to continuously changing health care systems throughout the world. Educational experiences are planned to meet the needs of and to empower both students and clients. Professionalism, ethical decision making, accountability, critical thinking, and effective communication are emphasized. This is achieved through the application of liberal arts constructs, science, health and nursing theories, and the values of the Christian faith within the scope of nursing knowledge and evidence-based practice. Nursing practice promotes human dignity through compassionate caring for all human beings, without consideration of their gender, age, color, creed, lifestyle, cultural background, and other visible or invisible boundaries between students, faculty, and clients.

The faculty of the College of Nursing is accountable for the quality of the educational programs and for the promotion of safe and effective nursing through teaching, service, and collaboration with other professionals and consumers of care. The following statements reflect the philosophical beliefs of the faculty in relation to the concepts of health, environment, person, and nursing:

HEALTH

Health is the central focus of nursing. Health is a dynamic aspect of being that incorporates physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and social dimensions.

ENVIRONMENT

All humans interact with the physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and social environments in which they work, play, and live. The nursing role is to help provide healthy and safe environments so that persons may live in optimal health.

 

PERSON

We believe that all people are accepted and loved unconditionally as children of God. In the baccalaureate program, clients are considered to be individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations. In the master’s program, clients include in addition organizations/systems. Human diversity is cherished. Spirituality is conceived as vertical and horizontal relationships with God and humanity. These relationships give hope and meaning to life now and in the future.

NURSING

Baccalaureate nursing practice incorporates the roles of assessing, critical thinking, communicating, providing care, teaching, and leading. The caring professional approach includes the values of autonomy, altruism, human dignity, integrity, and social justice with unconditional regard for all people. Nursing practice includes health promotion, disease prevention, early detection of health deviations, prompt and adequate treatment of the human response to acute and chronic illness, and compassionate care for those experiencing death.

 

Master’s nursing practice expands upon baccalaureate nursing concepts to include clinical practice knowledge, coaching/mentoring/teaching, consulting/collaborating, advanced leadership, and nursing education with a focus on research and quality assurance, critical thinking, spirituality, diversity, caring, and life-long learning. The advanced professional nursing role relies on best practices and evidence-based research with a focus on evaluation of health, outcomes, and processes.

 

Nursing education is theory driven. Theories are derived from the humanities, sciences, and Biblical concepts. Nursing knowledge, theory, research, and health promotion are influenced by spiritual perspectives, and ethical, legal, political, historical, and social influences. The faculty values excellence in teaching with an individual focus on the learner. Teaching includes a variety of methods, learning modalities, and practice situations. Faculty provide opportunities for students to give comprehensive care to diverse client populations, and the learning environment is created and arranged to meet individual learning outcomes that are consistent with the College of Nursing program outcomes. The College of Nursing supports life-long learning endeavors and fosters an appreciation of diversity among traditional and nontraditional learners. Students are educated to provide, direct, and evaluate client-centered care while focusing on the person as an integrated whole.

 

The Jersey Dairy Products Company produces cheese, which it sells to supermarkets and food-processing companies. Because of concerns about cholesterol and fat in cheese, the company has seen demand for its products decline during the past decade. It is now considering introducing some alternative low-fat dairy products and wants to determine how much available plant capacity it will have next year. The company has developed an exponential smoothing forecast with a=.40 to forecast cheese demand. The actual demand and the forecasts from the model are as follows: SEE ATTACHED Assess the accuracy of the forecast model by suing MAD (mean absolute deviation) and cumulative error. If the exponential smoothing forecast model does not appear to be accurate, determine whether a linear trend model would provide a more accurate forecast.

When we think about prices today we often feel that they have increased dramatically over the years. People sometimes reminisce about the “good old days” and the lower prices. Were things really better back then? Was everything so much cheaper? Let’s see! Here’s a fun little website that is full of nostalgia and a great way to learn about past times and events!

Assignment 2: Case Study – Gender Stereotypes in the Classroom

Due Week 6 and worth 200 points

Note: The case study used for this assignment was based on an existing case within Gorski, P. and Pothini, S. (2103). Case Studies on Diversity and Social Justice Education(1st ed.). New York: NY: Routledge. The case study was modified slightly for the purposes of this assignment.

Professor Matthews, a first-year instructor at a public state university, walked into his mentor Dr. Williams’ classroom, excited to observe him teaching his science course. Mr. Matthews had a lot of respect for Mr. Williams as an instructor and was looking forward to seeing effective classroom techniques in action. Mr. Williams, a 15-year teaching veteran, was well liked and respected by his students and colleagues. In fact, the College Dean recommended that Mr. Matthews observe Mr. Williams for an hour, honing in on how he engaged students and fostered high levels of participation. As the students filed in, Mr. Matthews found a desk in the back of the room and prepared to take notes.

As his students settled into their seats, Mr. Williams enthusiastically called out “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! I want to remind you that the midterm exam is tomorrow.” Following a brief overview of the study materials in their text and class notes, Mr. Williams asked if the students wanted to play a review game. Of course, the adult students agreed, as they knew Mr. Williams always offered something exciting and engaging for students.

“First, we need to split ourselves into two (2) teams”, Mr. Williams explained before asking the class how they wanted to divide themselves. As the students discussed options, Mr. Williams walked to the back of the room and said to Mr. Matthews, “Adult learners like having a certain level of control over their learning.”

Several students suggested that they form teams by gender. This “males versus females” suggestion elicited enthusiastic support from many of the classmates. Mr. Williams sent the men to one side of the classroom and the woman to the other side of the classroom, and proceeded to ask each team a question while keeping count of correct responses. 

After ten (10) minutes the team of women was far ahead of the team of men, leading a couple of men to joke that they are “letting the women win so that they don’t get mad.” A couple of women responded by reminding their male counterparts that the women won the previous two (2) games as well. Following several minutes of the teams mocking each other, Mr. Williams attempted to refocus the class by jokingly saying, “Alright guys, listen up. If you don’t stop fighting, I’m going to prepare a new seating arrangement that will alternate male and female students, which clearly would make you unhappy and you would feel like children rather than adults. Let’s focus!” Both teams refocused on the game.

After class, as students left the room, Mr. Matthews heard several male and female students laughing and making disparaging remarks to one another, arguing about which gender was most intelligent and debating society’s reflection on men versus women’s rights and privileges. Mr. Williams approached Mr. Matthews and warmly said “That’s how it’s done! The students love the competition and don’t even realize how much science they’re learning in the process.”

He then looked down at Mr. Matthews’ notes, and noticed that he had written and circled “gender stereotypes” in his notebook. “Whoa! That’s what you are focusing on?” Mr. Williams asked, sounding offended. “Males versus females: that’s what the students love to do. It’s an exciting way to facilitate the learning process.” He then counseled Mr. Matthews, “You’re still new at this and will learn soon enough that as long as the students are engaged and learning, that other stuff doesn’t matter.”

With that, Mr. Williams walked back to his desk as Mr. Matthews sat speechless, wondering whether he had been too sensitive. 

From the case study, write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you:

1. Expand on at least two (2) of the dynamics that Mr. Matthews observed while sitting in on Mr. Williams’ class that might have raised his concerns about the use of gender stereotypes.
2. Take a position on whether Mr. Matthew’s concerns about the use of gender stereotypes were founded. Provide a rationale for your position.
3. Explain the main ways in which you feel transgender students and / or students who do not identify with a gender would be impacted by the “male versus female” activities that often take place in this classroom.
4. Suggest at least one (1) other option Mr. Williams could use for splitting the students into teams.
5. Give your own constructive feedback to Mr. Williams regarding his roles as an instructor to his students and a mentor to Mr. Matthews.
6. Use at least four (4) quality peer-reviewed academic resources written within the past five (5) years. Note: Wikipedia and other similar websites do not qualify as academic resources.
7. Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
   1. Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
   2. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
   3. Include a reference page. Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Examine methods to integrate diversity into instructional content.
• Develop strategies to respond to issues surrounding diversity.
• Develop strategies and activities applicable to diverse adult learning environments.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in diversity in adult education.
• Write clearly and concisely about diversity in adult education using proper writing mechanics.

Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic / organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using this rubric.
