New required nursing core class??

cll30 · Jul 12, 2015

I was just looking at my degree plan, and as of 1 month ago, the only classes I had left was the statistics class I was currently enrolled in, my nursing research and capstone. This was verified by my advisor. Low and behold, I look at my degree plan today and there is an additional nursing core class: Health Policy and Legal AspectHealth Policy and Legal Aspects of Professional Nursing.
I'm wondering if anyone else had an information such as, if currently enrolled students are expected to take this class? My advisor is a piece of work in herself. She has never been informative nor very helpful. She likes to pass the buck on to everyone else. I'd rather hear from other students before going to her on this issue. Thanks in advance!

If you previously completed the Intro course when it was NURS 3645 (i.e. when it was a 10 week course taught over an eleven week time period) then you do not need to take N3375 Health Policy and Legal Aspects of Professional Nursing. This new N3375 is for students who take the new N3345 Intro course, which is only five weeks long. This new N3375 replaces the old second half of the Intro course. At least that is my understanding based on an email distributed when the new course numberings came out in April of this year.
