The horizontal strands are taught consistently through all courses andvary only according to factors in a given situation. The vertical stands flow throughnursing courses and develop in complexity as the curriculum progresses from levelto level.Horizontal StrandsCaring – Caring and the boundaries for change in a caring environment serve asthe major concept which undergirds the curriculum. As such, the faculty believesthat caring and the boundaries for change serve as a major horizontal strand whichis addressed in all nursing courses.14
Nursing process – Nursing process is an interactive, deliberate, systematic,problem- solving process, which encompasses five steps. These steps include:assessment, analysis (nursing diagnosis), planning, intervention, and evaluation.The nursing process identifies the practice of nursing and provides a methodologyfor providing nursing services to clients in a caring environment.Client – Client is defined as person or persons receiving nursing care. Thisincludes individuals, families, groups, and/or communities. Students care forclients throughout the curriculum.Culture – Professional nursing is practiced trans-culturally in response to healthneeds as defined within diverse cultural and ethnic groups. Recognizing eachperson within his/her cultural/ethnic settings as an individual who is uniquerepresents a holistic nursing approach. Being sensitive, nonjudgmental, andcaring to their values, beliefs, practices and lifestyles are care components whichfacilitate a person’s movement toward his/her identified state of health andwellness.Legal/Ethical/Political dimension – The legal, ethical, and politicaldimensions of society contribute to the structure and function of the health caresystem. The legal dimensi
