Embracing Competency-Based Education: Setting the Course for a Successful Curricular Change
The Journal of Nursing Education
|February 10, 2026
Summary
Nursing education reform is crucial for preparing practice-ready graduates. A structured, theory-informed curriculum revision, involving faculty engagement and leadership support, ensures successful transformation.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Curriculum Development
- Health Care Practice
Background:
- Evolving health care demands necessitate improved nursing graduate preparedness.
- Nursing organizations recommend curriculum reform and competency-based education.
- Current educational models require enhancement to produce practice-ready nurses.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a structured, theory-informed approach to nursing curriculum revision.
- To share insights and practical implications for institutions undergoing similar curriculum changes.
- To highlight the importance of faculty engagement and leadership support in educational reform.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the Bridges Transition Model and the Ottawa Model for Nursing Curriculum Renewal.
- Implemented a structured, theory-informed process for curriculum revision.
- Focused on fostering faculty engagement and collaboration throughout the revision process.
Main Results:
- The curriculum revision initiative provided valuable insights for other institutions.
- Sustained faculty engagement and collaboration were fostered.
- Faculty response to the revision process was overwhelmingly positive.
Conclusions:
- Successful nursing curriculum renewal requires meticulous planning, a strong theoretical basis, and early faculty involvement.
- Establishing robust structures, clear processes, and cohesive teams is vital for systemic change in nursing education.
- Leadership support and faculty buy-in are critical for effective curriculum transformation.

02:17Ecological Succession
21.6K
Ecological succession is influenced by the processes of facilitation, inhibition, and toleration. Facilitation occurs when early successional species create more favorable ecological conditions for subsequent species, such as enhanced nutrient, water, or light availability. In contrast, inhibition happens when early successional species create unfavorable ecological conditions for potential successive species, such as limiting resource availability. In some cases, later successional species...

01:50Global Climate Change
29.0K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

01:20Rates of Change
134
The rate of change is a central concept in mathematics that quantifies how one variable varies in response to another. It serves as a foundational tool in modeling dynamic systems across disciplines such as physics, biology, economics, and engineering. Understanding both average and instantaneous rates of change enables the analysis of behavior in functions that describe real-world phenomena.Average Rate of ChangeFor a function f(x) defined over an interval [x1,x2], the average rate of change...

01:17Work Done During Volume Change
5.2K
In mechanics, work is done on an object when the force acting on it displaces the object. In thermodynamics, work done on a system can be estimated when the system's volume changes during any thermodynamic process.
Consider a gas confined to a cylinder fitted with a movable piston at one end. If the gas expands from volume V1 to volume V2, it exerts a force on the piston, such that the piston moves by a distance dr.
The work done by the gas on the piston can be expressed as

02:19Le Chatelier's Principle: Changing Temperature
35.6K
Consistent with the law of mass action, an equilibrium stressed by a change in concentration will shift to re-establish equilibrium without any change in the value of the equilibrium constant, K. When an equilibrium shifts in response to a temperature change, however, it is re-established with a different relative composition that exhibits a different value for the equilibrium constant.
To understand this phenomenon, consider the elementary reaction:

03:00Standard Entropy Change for a Reaction
25.0K
Entropy is a state function, so the standard entropy change for a chemical reaction (ΔS°rxn) can be calculated from the difference in standard entropy between the products and the reactants.
