Heritage Assessment

NRS 429V Week 3 Heritage Assessment

This is a
benchmark assessment.
The RN to BSN
program at Grand Canyon University meets the requirements for clinical
competencies as defined by CCNE and AACN using nontraditional experiences for
practicing nurses. These experiences come in the form of direct and indirect
care experiences in which licensed nursing students engage in learning within
the context of their hospital organization, their specific care discipline, and
their local communities.
The learning
activity and corresponding assignment in this topic requires students to
perform a heritage assessment with families selected by the student from their
local community.
