In 2011, national accreditation was mandated for all nursing programs within the state of Minnesota. Only three of the 23 practical nursing (PN) programs were nationally accredited at the time. The majority of the PN programs needed major curricular revisions to meet national accreditation standards. Many of the PN programs were rural, with limited resources, faculty, or expertise. A collaborative process between industry and nursing programs was established to develop a curriculum framework that met national accreditation standards and could be used as a foundation by the PN programs for curriculum development and revision. The results of the collaborative process included a curriculum framework that was guided by eight student learning outcomes and included an online resource of course outlines, assignments, rubrics, and clinical evaluation tools. The process described in this article can be replicated to guide other programs in development of a curriculum framework to ease the burden of individual nursing programs.
2011年,明尼苏达州要求所有护理项目都要获得全国认证。当时,23个实用护理(PN)项目中只有3个获得了全国认证。大多数PN项目需要对课程进行重大修订,以达到全国认证标准。许多PN项目位于农村地区,资源、师资或专业知识有限。行业与护理项目之间建立了一个合作流程,以制定一个符合全国认证标准的课程框架,PN项目可将其作为课程开发和修订的基础。合作流程的成果包括一个由八项学生学习成果指导的课程框架,以及一个包含课程大纲、作业、评分标准和临床评估工具的在线资源。本文所述的流程可以复制,以指导其他项目制定课程框架,减轻各个护理项目的负担。
