Objective 1: Analyze nursing history to expand thinking and provide a sense of professional heritage and identity.
The course provided ample support for this objective by incorporating modules on nursing history and its significance in shaping the profession. Historical case studies were explored, allowing us to analyze historical context, which expanded our thinking about professional heritage and identity. The materials used in the course also encouraged us to critically evaluate how historical events and societal changes influenced the nursing profession's development.
