Summer Course: NURS 579: Transcultural Nursing Practice (3 credits)

Course: NURS 579

Title: Transcultural Nursing Practice

Quarter: Summer 2015

Mondays 9:40-12:30, T 521 HSB.

3 credits during both sessions.

We will pursue two related goals in NURS 579: (1) examine different approaches to culturally appropriate health care practice and (2) review the literature reflecting more than 40 years of development of cross cultural practice.  These goals will involve an examination of literature in Nursing, Transcultural Nursing, Medicine, Anthropology and related practice disciplines.  Seminar discussions focus on descriptions of clinical practice and will be based on weekly assignments from original sources and the experiences (clinical and otherwise) of participants.  Analytical dimensions for the study of culture in various health care settings will be proposed.  The reading and discussions also will contribute to the production of three (4-10 page) papers spread throughout the quarter.  The course is especially relevant to graduate students who will teach.

 

We have a job opportunity ideal for a student interested in kids & disability. The job is for both this summer and during the 2015-2016 school year.

The job is to become an “Individual Provider” for our 10-year-old, a creative, fun boy with a disability. The Individual Provider is trained and compensated by the Developmental Disabilities Administration. It’s essentially a paid, ongoing caregiver at our home in View Ridge, near Magnuson Park. You would fill out intake forms, get a background check, complete DDA-sponsored, paid training, and be paid by DDA. Rate is $11.06 an hour.

Summer dates we’d need you: June 22 – July 31, 2015 from 12:30-5:00 (excluding July 2-7). We’ll discuss the fall/winter/spring schedule as it gets closer. For more information, please contact Blair Maurer, UW HR Marketing, Communications & Engagement, at 206-963-5514 or bmaurer@uw.edu.
