SP 310 - Spanish Introduction to Professional Nursing

A course designed to accompany nursing student’s first experience in the nursing field, SP 310 covers a wide array of issues central to the profession of nursing, such as patient-centered care, diversity and cultural sensitivity, patient beliefs and traditions, therapeutic communication, clinical practices, health care systems and delivery of care. Readings and discussion are highly specialized to provide students with information on Hispanic and Latino communities’ views and experiences. Students are required by NU 110 to complete a Service Learning experience at a site where they will use Spanish and engage with the Hispanic/Latino community. Further, students in NU110 will be expected to complete Service Learning related assignments in Spanish.
