The purpose of this course is to introduce participants to the high acuity nursing specialty and the role of the high acuity nurse. The participants will focus on expanding their ability to think critically and engage in participatory relationships; examine the concept of health and explore their understanding of health in order to promote health for high acuity patients and families. The participants will explore the lived experience of an acute illness (e.g. respiratory illness) while applying the theory of oxygen supply and demand, comprehensive assessments, and in consideration of ethical clinical decision-making within the high acuity nursing practice environment.
