Abstract:
To create a preferred future for nursing, our prelicensure program teaches students to think critically, communicate effectively, and be leaders and change agents in health care. As seniors, students apply the Institute for Healthcare Improvement Model for Improvement to search the literature for research evidence about a problem, collect and analyze data, and perform a root cause analysis to develop solutions and plans for implementation. At the semester's end, formal presentations are provided to academic and practice partners.
