Abstract:
This article describes a curriculum development project to strengthen the geriatric component of an RN-to-BSN program through creation of a multidisciplinary curricular framework that supports the self-determination of older adults and promotes best practices in geriatric community health nursing. The project involved integrating multidisciplinary theories with nursing competencies generated from interviews with geriatric community health nurses that subsequently were cross-validated with baccalaureate competencies for geriatric nursing care. The outcome was a theory and practice-based curricular model for teaching geriatric community health nursing used to strengthen the development of geriatric nursing competence of RN-to-BSN students.
