Change the course title and description. Add pre-requisites HEA 855 and NSC 850. A. 2. Proposed Effective Academic Term: (Example: Fall 2012) Fall 2014 A. 3. Effective date of suspended programs for currently enrolled students: (if applicable) NA B. The justification for this action: B. The course description was developed for the Public Health Nursing (PHN) option. Revision was necessary when the PHN option was changed to Nursing Administration option. The course name and description better aligns with the name change of the MSN option. The pre-requisites of HEA 855 and NSC 850 are added because this course will build on the concepts in these courses. The course revision meets the 2011 AACN Essentials for Master's Nursing Education competences. C. The projected cost (or savings) of this proposal is as follows: Personnel Impact: N/A Operating Expenses Impact: N/A Equipment/Physical Facility Needs: N/A Library Resources: N/A CHS 2
