Objective #2 Discuss the development of curricula using the NLN Education Competencies Model
Describe how the following curriculum components are developed from the outcomes: philosophy, program outcomes, course outcomes, unit objectives, learning activities and evaluation methods.
CORE VALUES Core Values of the NLN Caring Diversity Integrity Excellence
Additional Core Values Holism Ethics Patient Centeredness
The core values resonate with our nursing program's philosophy. Yes No
Before we go further What concepts do you believe will be essential to nursing practice in 2017?
Integrating Concepts Context and Environment Knowledge and Science Personal/Professional Development Quality and Safety Relationship-Centered Care Teamwork
Question to Ponder How are the apprenticeships of knowledge, practice and ethical comportment realized for each of the six integrating concepts identified in our nursing program?
Program Outcomes The expected culmination of all learning experiences: Includes mastery of essential core nursing practice competencies Builds on core values Builds on six integrating concepts
Program Outcomes The outcomes reflect the culmination of complex, multifaceted learning, which can be demonstrated at the time of graduation.
Program Outcomes Human flourishing Nursing judgment Professional identity Spirit of inquiry
Program Outcomes And Core Competencies Core competencies are the discrete, measurable skills essential for the practice of nursing, that are developed by the faculty to meet the program outcomes
Program Outcomes And Core Competencies Expected culmination of all learning experiences that occur during the academic program The over-arching outcome is nursing practice
Program Outcomes And Core Competencies Competencies increase in complexity as students move through the various types of nursing education programs
Implications for Nursing Education Incorporate in all levels of the curriculum Philosophy Framework Outcomes Program, Course, Unit Learning Activities, Evaluation

Developing a Philosophy The first step in curriculum development is development of your program philosophy. The core values form the basis of your philosophy.
Questions to Ponder How might we recognize, develop, and fully integrate the identified core values across our nursing education program(s)? To what extent are these core values congruent with the values expressed in our educational institution s mission statement?
Developing a Program Framework The second step in curriculum development is identifying those concepts that you would like to embrace in your program. Many programs place these concepts into a framework or model that then leads to the program s outcome competencies.
Questions to Ponder What concepts are intentionally and progressively developed across the current curriculum at our school of nursing? In what ways might our nursing program examine, re-organize, and appropriately incorporate the six integrating concepts?
Developing Outcomes The third step in curriculum development in determining the program outcomes you would like graduates to achieve.
Questions to Ponder What outcomes are formally identified for our school of nursing? How congruent are the articulated outcomes for our school of nursing with the four outcomes espoused in this model?
Question The majority of our learning activities focus on the application of nursing judgment and not the delivery of facts. Yes No
Learning Activities These can be as simple as a drug calculation scenario and as complex as a simulation requiring prioritization and delegation Numerous resources are available on the QSEN & IHI websites: www.qsen.org http://www.ihi.org/pages/default.aspx
Learning Activities Unfolding case studies such as those available through the ACES (Advancing Care Excellence for Seniors) initiative ACES: http://www.nln.org/facultyprograms/f acultyresources/aces/index.htm
Learning Activities Simulation The bridge between theory and practice allowing students to apply theory to practice and practice to theory
Evaluation Methods Moving beyond the multiple-choice exam

Activities/Strategies Noticing Reflective journaling
Respond to the following: Select a brief patient care interaction with a patient you have not seen before. Immediately after leaving the patient s room, make a list of everything you remember about the patient and the room environment. Include observations of the patient, equipment, family members present and the condition of the room.
After you have made the list, go back into the patient s room with paper and pencil and make another list of the same type of observations. When you have time to compare the list and reflect on your observations, answer the following questions:
What was the greatest difference in your 2 lists? What was the most significant observation you made on your second list that you omitted from the first list? Why do you think this was a significant omission?
What will you do to increase your observational skills during your next patient interaction?
PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY
Outcome: Professional Identity Defined: Professional identity involves the internalization of core values and perspectives recognized as integral to the art and science of nursing. These core values become self-evident as the nurse learns, gains experience, and grows in the profession.
Outcome: Professional Identity The nurse embraces these fundamental values in every aspect of practice while working to improve patient outcomes and promote the ideals of the nursing profession. Professional identity is evident in the lived experience of the nurse, in his or her ways of being, knowing and doing.

PLEASE CALL! DON T FALL!
Osteoporosis and Falls Osteoporosis is bone loss associated with an increased risk of fractures. The term osteoporosis means porous or brittle bone. Diagnosis can be made by your doctor completing a medical history, physical exam, x-rays, lab work and other tests. Osteoporosis is a major health problem. 28 million Americans have osteoporosis contributing to about 1.5 million bone fractures per year. One in two women and one in five men older than 65 years will suffer bone fractures caused by osteoporosis. Many of these are painful fractures of the hip, spine, wrist, arm, and leg, which occur as a result of a fall. However, even simple household tasks can result in a fracture of the spine if the bones have been weakened by osteoporosis. The most serious fracture from osteoporosis is a hip fracture. Most patients who experience a hip fracture and previously lived alone will require help from their family or home care. Hip fractures are expensive. Health care costs from a hip fracture total more than $35,000 per patient.
