Abstract:
There is a significant need to improve the amount and quality of gerontological nursing content in pre-licensure nursing programs in the United States.The National League for Nursing's Advancing Care Excellence for Seniors (ACES) project is designed to enhance gerontological nursing content in all pre-licensure nursing programs. Nurse educators can use the ACES framework to engage nursing students in studying the care of older adults through innovative and unique teaching/learning strategies, such as unfolding cases and simulation.The ACES framework, which includes the ACES Essential Knowledge Domains and Nursing Actions, is designed to enhance gerontological nursing content in pre-licensure nursing programs without adding additional content to curricula. Use of the ACES framework in pre-licensure nursing programs will help promote quality care of older adults in a variety of settings.
