Before starting with our week 1 discussion topic, please introduce yourself to the class, and carefully respond to the below questions:

  • What is your name?
  • Why do you want to be a nurse?
  • What do you hope to learn in this class?
  • What questions do you have on the course syllabus or the first live Instructors session?

Then discuss how poverty (i.e., “being poor”) and other social factors affect cumulative risk, susceptibility, resiliency, and vulnerability.
