Bachelor in Pedagogics of Nursing at Fachhochschule Ravensburg Weingarten

The Social Work, Health and Nursing Faculty trains teachers in nursing, obstetrics and geriatric and paediatric nursing with the bachelor’s in Pedagogics of Nursing and provides academic training on the path to becoming a nursing teacher. With this bachelor’s course, the University is providing a specific academic offer in nursing teacher training.

The educational goal of the course is to qualify nurses systematically for vocational teaching and teaching-relevant nursing tasks. A modern understanding of training and independent training goals are taken into account, along with integrative practical relevance (lectures and nursing practicals) of the profession in vocational training.

Therefore, the course qualifies for two fields of nursing activity. On the one hand for a teaching role in training and further training in the nursing profession and, on the other, for application-oriented nursing science. To strengthen the action orientation and to guarantee the highest possible practical relevance, on the teaching side the course incorporates an accompanied practical phase over 20 weeks in a later working field and practicals in the teaching-learning lab. On the nursing science side, a project is undertaken with healthcare institutions from the Lake Constance and Upper Swabia region. In addition to the pedagogical-didactical, educational and professional teaching, there is a particular focus with the main subjects on a subject-oriented consideration of nursing and teaching. Accordingly, there are detailed seminars to promote personal and social competence (e.g. conversation, rhetoric, mediation).

30 students a year are enrolled in the winter semester. The full-time Pedagogics of Nursing course lasts seven semesters, including a practical semester and concludes with the internationally recognized Bachelor of Arts (B.A.). The course admission requirements are a certificate of eligibility for university entrance (e.g. University of Applied Sciences Ravensburg Weingarten Bachelor’s in Pedagogics of Nursing The Social Work, Health and Nursing Faculty trains teachers in nursing, obstetrics and geriatric and paediatric nursing with the bachelor’s in Pedagogics of Nursing and provides academic training on the path to becoming a nursing teacher.

Graduate nursing education program goals are to: 1) expand the knowledge and clinical expertise of baccalaureate prepared nurses; 2) prepare the nurse to meet the health care needs of society in an advanced practice role; 3) prepare nurses who not only anticipate change but who actively seek to effect change; and 4) provide the foundation for post-master’s and doctoral study.

The master’s graduate of the College of Nursing and Allied Health is an advanced practice nurse who functions in a clinical nurse specialist or nurse practitioner role. The advanced practice nurse assumes a leadership role in the profession and in health care delivery. The graduate incorporates education, research, and clinical expertise into a practice that is reflective of the dynamic needs of a diverse population. Through the advanced professional role the graduate becomes instrumental in ensuring health promotion, health maintenance, and health restoration for society in the new millennium. Through scientific inquiry and collaborative relationships the advanced practice nurse continually augments and refines the science of nursing.

Program Goals

The College of Nursing and Allied Health graduate program was developed to provide an educational program, which will prepare the graduate nurse to:
