What NURS 750 covers
The course reads one text across all eight weeks, O'Brien's Spirituality in Nursing: Standing on Holy Ground, with a presentation each week. Both forums require two peer-reviewed references in the thread and two in each reply.
The caring ministry exemplar runs five to seven pages; the spiritual care workshop is written with a partner as a four-to-six page preparation paper with learning outcomes and a five-to-eight page final with a learning activity; the group presentation begins with a paper, outline and annotated bibliography of seven to ten sources and ends in 15 to 18 slides; the servant leadership paper runs eight to ten pages with seven to ten references.
This course will examine the interrelatedness of spirituality and the practice of nursing. The primary orientation of the course will be that of the Christian worldview. Historical perspectives on spiritual care will be incorporated with the healing arts. Contemporary models such as parish nursing will be explored. The spiritual needs of the caregiver will be identified and support opportunities will be examined.

Where NURS 750 papers lose points
Work in NURS 750 loses points when spirituality is defined but never reaches a patient, when a faith tradition is described as a list of rules rather than through the people who practice it, when learning outcomes cannot be measured, and when the servant leadership plan describes virtues without dates, actions or a way to tell whether growth happened.
Using a NURS 750 sample well
Read each sample for how a spiritual concept is carried from the reading to one family, one unit or one leader. Your own patients and practice set the details; these pages show the structure, sources and depth each assignment expects.
