What NURS 832 covers
The course reads Macha and McDonough's Epidemiology for Advanced Nursing Practice with weekly presentations and websites. Each forum thread cites two peer-reviewed journal articles and the single required reply cites a different one; there is no required word count.
The HealthMap assessment is a one-page description; the Epi Info work produces an initial survey in Module/Week 2 and an outbreak questionnaire in Module/Week 7; and the outbreak paper runs ten pages with at least five peer-reviewed sources from the last five years besides the textbook and the Bible, with CDC and WHO counted as peer-reviewed.
This course provides an overview of epidemiologic principles and biostatistical methods for evaluation and implementation of evidence based changes in clinical practice to enhance the quality of care and to predict and analyze outcomes. Students will apply descriptive and inferential statistics to examine aggregate data. Health data will be disseminated to further enhance global clinical prevention efforts.

Where NURS 832 papers lose points
Work in NURS 832 loses points when statistics are reported without interpretation, when a survey asks questions that cannot be analyzed, when an outbreak is described as a news story rather than investigated by person, place and time, and when sources are older than the five-year window the guide sets.
Using a NURS 832 sample well
Read each sample for how an epidemiologic idea becomes a number, a question or a decision. Your own outbreak and data will differ; the samples show the structure, sources and level of analysis each assignment calls for.
