Wright State University-Miami Valley College of Nursing and Health MASTER S DEGREE PROGRAM CURRICULUM MODEL NARRATIVE The Master of Science Degree Program in Nursing is designed to prepare graduates capable of expert practice in the following areas of advanced nursing practice: Acute Care, Administration of Nursing and Health Care Systems, Adult-Gerontological Health, Clinical Nurse Leader, Family Health, Nursing Education Pediatric Health, Psychiatric Mental Health and School Nurse. The College of Nursing and Health also offers a certificate programs in school nurse and post master s certificate in all other concentrations. Graduates of the program will be prepared to: 1) Lead change to improve quality outcomes; 2) Advance a culture of excellence through lifelong learning; 3) Build and lead collaborative interprofessional care teams; 4) Navigate and integrate care services across the healthcare system; 5) Design innovative nursing practices; and 6) Translate evidence into practice. A major emphasis of the program is on health promotion and disease prevention which is intended to stimulate the master s prepared nurse to build on client s strengths rather than to focus on limitations. As a result, graduates are equipped with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to assist clients to develop their own competence to complete tasks and reach goals needed for personal accountability for their health. Nurses in advanced practice promote quality health care through service to individuals, families, groups, organizations and communities. Quality nursing care is increasingly dependent on the ability of the nurse to generate, analyze, and apply research within the practice setting. Critical analysis of methods of care compared to expenditures, direct the provision of nursing care in the future. Careful preparation in these areas will enable nurses with advanced degrees to develop the entrepreneurial spirit necessary to adjust to a rapidly changing health care environment. The Graduate Program Model is in direct alignment with the Essentials of Master s Nursing Education (2011) and depicts a framework designed to educate nurses with the broad knowledge and expertise necessary to provide human-based caring in master s level advanced nursing practice in the 21 st century. The following narrative more fully describes the curriculum model. The eight articulating themes of the curriculum model include: Nursing Science and Evidence Based Practice, Organizational and Systems Leadership, Quality Improvement and Safety, Translating and Integrating Scholarship into Practice, Informatics and Health Care Technologies, Health Policy and Advocacy, Interprofessional Collaboration for Improving Patient and Population Health Outcomes and Clinical Prevention and Population Health for Improving Health. The articulating themes of the curriculum model are introduced early in the program through a series of core courses and are expanded through the specialty concentrations of the program. It is essential that students refine their analytic skills, expand their perspectives, and logically defend their actions in an articulate manner in relationship to all aspects of health care. Development of these abilities is requisite of the evolution of professional

leadership within and external to the profession. Specific emphasis throughout the core courses is placed on developing appreciation of human diversity and social issues that impact human-centered nursing care. Furthermore, emphasis on health care financing, societal values/ethics, and the importance of political activism as a method of advocacy for appropriate and cost effective health care of the public is integral to the course courses. Content on nursing science is introduced in the core courses focusing on theory, research and evidence-based practice for advanced nursing practice. This component culminates with the completion of a thesis, scholarly project, supervised research experience or research utilization course relevant to the student s chosen area of specialization. A course in health policy hones critical thinking skills for analyzing the impact of external variables on health care accessibility and practices. An informatics course ensures familiarity with applications of information technology in nursing and use of various computer application packages. An advanced practice and leadership course is designed to provide a base of knowledge related to advanced nursing practice across specialty concentrations. Concepts of health and wellbeing are related to the advanced nursing practice role in a conceptual course. Content within this core provides a base of knowledge in formulating therapeutic nursing interventions at an advanced practice level. Knowledge gained in the foundations of advanced nursing practice is progressively integrated as students enter their areas of specialization which are focused on application to direct or indirect practice. Students use this expanded knowledge base as they gain expertise in their selected areas of advanced nursing practice. Emphasis on acquisition of advanced skills and knowledge of the specialty is provided in selected course work pertinent to the major. Collaborative practice within a multi-disciplinary health care environment is an important focus. Examination of the relevancy of various theoretical models and research applications for practice are required. Emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention strategies are emphasized including within the context of illness. Expert knowledge requires a synthesis of all prior learning and culminates in the full integration of knowledge as it applies to the advanced nursing practice role within the chosen major. Advanced leadership skills evolve as students employ new knowledge and gain the ability to provide therapeutic nursing interventions indicative of thoughtful, analytic, problem-solving/decision-making abilities for advanced nursing practice. They are prepared to improve practice, demonstrate leadership, assume an advanced nursing role, engage in scientific inquiry, or enroll in doctoral study.
