SOSC-3008Modern Controversies in Healthcare
The Canadian Nurses Association stresses the importance of the moral responsibility of nurses, where moral objections are rooted in an informed, reflective choice. It also stresses the importance of social justice and health promotion. By addressing controversies head on, including less socially accepted perspectives, students will be better equipped to make informed choices about their participation in controversial care as well as their potential future role as an advocate for change.
