Professional nursing standards and guidelines form the foundation for nurse practitioner curriculum. Nurse educators should understand the role these professional standards and guidelines have in the development of curriculum. Recently, nursing education has moved to a competency-based education with the release of the new American Association of Colleges of Nursing Essentials and the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties Nurse Practitioner Role Core Competencies. Competency-based curriculum allows for a common understanding of the knowledge, skills, and experiences nurse practitioner graduates require for entry to practice. Competency-based education also provides consistent and uniform expectations for novice nurse practitioners on entry to practice. With the change to a competency-based curriculum, nurse educators can review and revise curriculum through refinement of courses, student learning objectives, assignments, and evaluations. Nurse educators have a responsibility to critically analyze student assignments and evaluations to ensure competencies are met multiple times through a variety of methods. In addition, nurse educators have the opportunity to use assignments that meet multiple competencies to modernize student learning. Refinement and revision lead to enhanced student critical thinking and provide opportunities for real-world training to improve student outcomes.
专业护理标准和准则为护士从业者课程奠定了基础。护士教育者应该了解这些专业标准和准则在课程开发中的作用。最近,随着新的美国护理学院协会基础要素和国家护士从业者教师协会护士从业者角色核心能力的发布,护理教育已经转向以能力为基础的教育。基于能力的课程允许对护士从业者毕业生进入实践所需的知识、技能和经验有一个共同的理解。基于能力的教育还为新手护士从业者进入实践提供了一致和统一的期望。随着以能力为基础的课程的改变,护士教育者可以通过改进课程、学生学习目标、作业和评估来审查和修改课程。护士教育者有责任批判性地分析学生的作业和评估,以确保通过多种方法多次达到能力要求。此外,护士教育者有机会使用满足多种能力的作业来实现学生学习的现代化。细化和修订可以提高学生的批判性思维能力,并为现实世界的培训提供机会,以提高学生的学习成果。
