MINUTES OF THE UNIVERSITY FACULTY AUGUST 4, 1961

Explanation

One of the significant approaches to curriculum
construction being strenuously pursued by the nursing
faculty is to minimize unnecessary segmentation and
2 repetition of nursing content. Historically nursing
curricula have been segmented into courses paralleling
major specialties in medical practice (medical nursing,
surgical nursing, pediatric nursing, etc.). There is
y considerable support for the belief that emphasis

should be placed on identifying elements of nursing

{ practice common to patients with problems representing
various medical specialties.

 

 

The opportunity at the University of Kentucky, to
capitalize on the ”clean slate" has been experienced
y by few persons in nursing. The timing for presenting
what is in fact a general introduction to clinical
X nursing is the result of an extensive amount of effort

in identification of objectives of curriculum and in

} exploration of common elements in the traditional ¢;V
: specialty areas of nursing. These steps were essenn ‘ '
\ tial prerequisites to definition of the first clinical
nursing course content.

 

New Upper Division Course:
Nursing 346 Trends ig Nursing (2 crs.)

Analysis of trends in nursing educa-
[ tion and nursing service in relation
to society and the forces of social
change.

Dean Carpenter presented the names of two students who had been .
dropped by the College of Commerce a second time and recommended that f 6w
the University Faculty approve their readmission. Dean Matthews of 'E L
the College of Law, requested clarification of the basis of the
recommendation — that is, whether it represented a recommendation
’ of the Commerce Faculty or a right of the individual student to
appeal to the University Faculty. Dean Carpenter explained that
he thought of it as an action of the University Faculty to revoke
its previous action, not as an action of the college faculty; that
i he had told the students concerned that he would bring their petitions W
7 to the University Faculty, which could always receive petitions. The : ,ytm
‘ two students reinstated are James Hugh Rogers and Karl H. Thomas. “ ’
