Graduates have beenemployed throughout Arizona and the United States.The purpose of the Student Handbook is to familiarize students with the Nursing Program:faculty, philosophy, organization and policies.The Yavapai College Nursing Program is nationally accredited by the Accreditation Commissionfor Education in Nursing (ACEN). In addition, the Nursing Program has been continuallyapproved by the Arizona State Board of Nursing since 1969.Graduation from the Yavapai College Associate Degree Nursing Program is not the sole criteriafor obtaining a license to practice nursing in Arizona. Licensing requirements are the exclusiveresponsibility of the Arizona State Board of Nursing (Nursing Practice Act A.R.S.

Nursing Program Mission StatementThe mission of the Yavapai College Nursing Program is to provide quality education that willdevelop competent, caring, holistic and ethical practitioners who value lifelong learning andadapt to continuous changes in the health care system.The Yavapai College Nursing Program PhilosophyThe nursing faculty share the mission and values of Yavapai College. We are committed tocontributing to the profession of nursing through teaching and service. We recognize thatnursing students are unique, come from diverse backgrounds, and have individual learningneeds. We believe that nursing is an art and science and that a sound nursing educationcurriculum integrates knowledge from the sciences and the humanities. The nursing curriculumis based on concepts relating to the client, environment, health, nursing therapeutics, andlearning.Definitions of ConceptsClientClient is defined as being the individual, family, groups, or community in need of nursingservices. From a holistic perspective each client is influenced by biological, psychological, social,cultural, spiritual and developmental dimensions. Clients are unique and continuously involvedin adapting to life changes that are interdependent with environment and health. Individualshave the right to choose from multiple options that are available in daily life experiences andshould accept responsibility for their choices.EnvironmentThe environment is comprised of internal and external forces which affect clients.Environmental forces influencing everyday life include, but are not limited to bio-psycho-social,cultural, spiritual, and developmental dimensions, political and economic structures, physicalsurroundings, and human relations.HealthHealth is a dynamic process that is self-defined by personal, family, cultural, and societalbeliefs. A transition is a process which results in modification(s) in the life of an individual, afamily, a group/organization, or a community. Transitions are triggered by a change event or aseries of change events. All transitions involve periods of disequilibrium for the individual,family, group/organization, or community. Clients experiencing transitions which have thepotential to affect health can most benefit from nursing interventions designed to attainmutually defined outcomes.5

Nursing TherapeuticsNursing therapeutics are activities concerned with assessing, diagnosing, planning,implementing and evaluating care that promotes, maintains and restores the health of theclient; or provides comfort at end-of-life. The goal of nursing therapeutics is to foster clientchoices and independence that lead to health and well-being. Nursing strives to educate andwork with clients to achieve mutually defined goals.LearningLearning is a continuous, lifelong process that incorporates cognitive, psychomotor andaffective domains. The process of learning must incorporate different learning styles and ratesfor each individual and take into account the person’s motivation, life experience, anddevelopmental level.ORGANIZING FRAMEWORKThe following diagram illustrates the concepts in the organizing framework. The sphere reflectsa multidimensional orientation to the curricular plan and depicts Nursing as surrounding andpermeating the total sphere. Nursing is seen as the summative concept, encompassing thewhole and made up of those concepts that are developed and reflected throughout theprogram. As the curriculum progresses, each of the component concepts is developed atincreasingly complex levels. The outcome goal of this curricular approach is to integrate theseconcepts into a strong network that the faculty considers professional nursing.2020-20216

SUNSETTING END OF PROGRAM OUTCOMESFall 2019 – Fall 2020ORGANIZING FRAMEWORKThe following diagram illustrates the concepts in the organizing framework. The sphere reflects amultidimensional orientation to the curricular plan and depicts Nursing as surrounding and permeating thetotal sphere. Nursing is seen as the summative concept, encompassing the whole and made up of thoseconcepts that are developed and reflected throughout the program. As the curriculum progresses, each ofthe component concepts is developed at increasingly complex levels. The outcome goal of this curricularapproach is to integrate these concepts into a strong network that the Faculty considers professional nursing.Definitions of Major Organizing Concepts1.Clinical CompetencyCompetency is inherent to the practice of nursing. Competency is defined as the ability to plan and carryout knowledgeable, efficient and safe nursing care and assumes an awareness of one's own limitations.The achievement of competency is evidenced by the student's ability to provide nursing care inincreasingly complex settings and situations. Students are required to master the core competencieswhich include:1) Achieving an entry level professional knowledge base, 2) practicing safe, effective, and efficient nursingcare, and 3) demonstrating nursing skills.The students learn the skills and knowledge needed to demonstrate clinical competency. Students learnto synthesize information from the knowledge and skills learned and analyze data to individualize nursingcare in well-defined practice settings for clients of all ages with multiple health care needs and problems.Students develop proficiency in their skills in the laboratory and clinical settings.11

2. Critical ThinkingCritical thinking is reflective judgment and reasonable thought that focuses on deciding what to believeor what to do. It is a composite of attitudes, knowledge, and skills. Students are required to useknowledge from nursing, biological and social sciences, and humanities as a basis for nursing practice.Nurse educators expect the student to learn and apply critical thinking skills. Students need to be able toarrive at decisions to facilitate health that are specific to the unique circumstances of each client. Nursingprocess is the critical thinking framework used for systematic, client-centered, outcome-orientedmethods of nursing practice.Students learn to obtain information from current, accepted nursing references and other disciplines.They synthesize knowledge and skills to formulate and implement decisions related to complex nursingpractice situations in well-defined settings.3. CaringCaring is an essential component of nursing which involves the therapeutic use of self within the contextof nursing practice. Caring requires a personal, social, moral, and spiritual engagement of the nurse.Caring is intentional in nature and is of benefit to the client.Students apply and integrate caring behaviors into nursing practice. Students learn to differentiatebetween caring as an emotional response and a knowledgeable, deliberative intervention. They use thisknowledge with cognitive and psychomotor activities to produce purposeful outcomes that protect,enhance, and preserve human dignity.4. Diversity/CultureSociety is composed of widely diverse groups of people. The groups include, but are not limited to,people with different racial, ethnic, and socio-economic backgrounds, sexual orientation, gender, age andgeographical areas.Culture refers to the acquired knowledge individuals use to interpret life's experiences and to generatesocial behavior. Nursing professionals need to seek to know and understand the values, beliefs, and dailyliving patterns of a variety of cultures. Because of the relationship between diversity, culture and healthcare, it is important to identify factors that influence how individuals, families, groups, and communitiesexperience and ascribe meanings to health and illness.Nursing faculty are challenged to help students recognize personal values and biases to broadenstudents' perspectives of diversity and to help students develop cultural sensitivity.Students learn basic culture concepts and begin to identify cultural differences in knowledge and belief,daily living, and health practices. They recognize that diversity impacts a client’s experiences with healthcare. Students integrate knowledge of diversity/culture into nursing practice. They also recognize theinteractions between one's own culture and the culture of the client.5. CommunicationCommunication is the means of sending and receiving messages through symbols, words, signs, andgestures. Therapeutic communication is deliberate, client-focused communication designed to assist theclient in problem solving and goal achievement. Students are assisted in exploring, analyzing, andevaluating communication processes with clients. They learn the skills needed to interact with clients in atherapeutic manner, and to adapt the communication techniques as appropriate to clients’ diversebackgrounds, education, development, and health status.12

Effective interpersonal communication involves the ability to interact with nurse colleagues and othermembers of the healthcare team in a positive, respectful manner. Students learn the processes whichfoster open communication, conflict resolution, and proper delegation. They also learn the importance of(and techniques for) clear, accurate, and timely written and verbal communication.6. Learning-TeachingThe learning-teaching process is ongoing, dynamic, and interpersonal. The nurse facilitates healthpromotion, maintenance, and restoration of clients' health through education. The purpose of teaching isto help clients develop self-care abilities to improve their quality of life or achieve a dignified death.Faculty serve as motivators, facilitators, and role models. Learning-teaching is most effective when thestudent is an active participant in the process. Thus, the student implements choices and selectsopportunities to develop personal learning-teaching objectives and experiences. The student has theopportunity to develop the ability to think critically, act responsibly, be creative, and communicateeffectively.Students identify components of the learning-teaching process and incorporate the learning-teachingrole into the nursing role.7. AccountabilityNurses are held responsible and accountable for nursing practice based upon the profession's code ofethics, standards of practice and legal regulations. Nurses are responsible for developing and maintainingcurrent nursing knowledge and skills through formal and continuing education.Faculty foster the development of professional responsibility and accountability through students' selfregulatory mechanisms such as student self-appraisal, standards of academic integrity, honesty, and themaintenance of confidentiality. Students identify, explore, and analyze the ethical, legal and politicalfactors which impact upon the role of professional nursing in the health-care delivery system. Studentsare expected to demonstrate responsibility and accountability appropriate to their levels of education,experience and practice.8. Management/LeadershipManagement and leadership are essential elements of nursing practice. Nurses function as vital membersof the health care team and are responsible for the management of client care. Management in nursingoccurs at all levels of practice and involves coordination of care, fiscal responsibility, resource utilization,and participationAs a member of the organization. registered nurses must also have the knowledge and skills to makedecisions regarding prioritization, delegation, conflict management, and evaluation. Faculty facilitate theacquisition of the cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills that graduates need tobecome effective managers of care.Leadership is the ability to influence and guide the decisions and subsequent actions of others.Developing leadership skills involves self-reflection, understanding human processes, envisioningpossibilities, goal setting, and communication. Students are introduced to the importance of nursinginvolvement in professional organizations, political processes, and organizational decision making.13
