Curriculum
The conceptual framework describes inter-related outcome abilities and key concepts upon which the nursing curriculum is based. The eight key concepts of humankind, environment, research, legal/ethical/political dimensions, information processing, teaching/learning, health promotion, and management constitute the basis of the GAU Department of Nursing curriculum. These key concepts are organized within four outcome abilities: caring, critical thinking, communication, and professional practice. These outcome abilities serve as measures of the student’s progression through the curriculum.
