Abstract:
Curricular innovation is an ever-present element of nursing education. It is incumbent for nurse educators to evaluate their curricula and its outcomes to ensure quality nursing education. This article describes a comprehensive student-centered outcome evaluation of the Clinical Immersion Model. This model and the foundational components unique to the curricular design and the senior clinical immersion are described. Several methods of evaluation, including National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses pass rates, exit surveys, alumni surveys, and a senior nursing student focus group, are presented. Implications of this evaluation and future directions are explored to inform potential implementation and adaptation of this effective curriculum by other schools of nursing.
