The Institute of Medicine has outlined important components needed in nursing education to prepare the nursing workforce of the future. Previously published work on RN to BSN education has focused mainly on mode of delivery. The purpose of this paper is to examine RN to BSN program components for the facilitation of academic progression, innovative mechanisms of student engagement, and the curricular components that prepare graduates to meet future nursing challenges. Academic progression factors discussed include those relevant to recruiting RNs to BSN completion programs and factors important to retaining them through graduation. Recommendations for student engagement include the creation of honors programs, ethics teams, and practicum and service learning experiences. Suggestions for curriculum possibilities specifically address meeting the call of the Institute of Medicine report including content in community/public health, informatics, evidence-based practice, ethics, and health policy.
美国医学研究所概述了护理教育中未来护理人员所需的重要组成部分。之前关于注册护士到护理学士教育的工作主要集中在交付模式上。本文的目的是研究 RN 到 BSN 课程的组成部分,以促进学业进步、创新的学生参与机制,以及为毕业生做好准备以应对未来护理挑战的课程组成部分。讨论的学业进步因素包括与招募注册护士完成学士课程相关的因素,以及通过毕业留住他们的重要因素。学生参与的建议包括创建荣誉课程、道德团队以及实习和服务学习经验。课程可能性的建议特别针对满足美国医学研究所报告的要求,包括社区/公共卫生、信息学、循证实践、伦理和健康政策方面的内容。
