Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Curriculum Development
  • Health Sciences

Background:

  • Generalist Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) programs often include excessive science credits.
  • Overlapping coursework with advanced practice programs increases costs and program length for generalist students.
  • Current curricula may not align with program outcomes or accreditation standards.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To streamline the MSN curriculum by aligning course content with program outcomes.
  • To meet student learning needs and current accreditation requirements.
  • To reduce overall credit load and tuition costs for generalist MSN students.

Main Methods:

  • Course learning outcomes were mapped to program outcomes and AACN Essentials competencies.
  • A two-course series integrating the 4Ps (pathophysiology, pharmacology, physical/health assessment, health promotion) was developed.
  • The integrated series was designed for an online master's level nursing curriculum, reducing total credits.

Main Results:

  • 67 students completed the integrated online courses in the first semester.
  • The revised curriculum successfully met program learning outcomes and accreditation standards.
  • Minor revisions were implemented based on student feedback after the initial offering.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating the 4Ps into a two-course series is a viable strategy for curriculum streamlining.
  • This model effectively reduces credit requirements in generalist MSN programs.
  • The approach supports efficient and effective nursing education.
