Fischer Projections

Fischer Projections

Learning to draw Fischer projections of molecules and understanding their relevance plays a crucial role in the visual depiction of organic molecules. A Fischer projection is a two-dimensional projection on a planar surface to simplify the three-dimensional wedge–dash representation of molecules. This is especially helpful in the case of molecules with multiple chiral centers that can be difficult to draw. Here, all the bonds of interest are represented as horizontal or vertical lines. While...

Compounds Essential to Human Function

Compounds Essential to Human Function

The human body is composed of cells that are fundamentally made up of several different molecules. These molecules are essential to carry out all physiological processes in the body and are broadly classified into organic and inorganic based on their chemical structures.
Inorganic Compounds Essential to Human Functioning
Inorganic compounds essential to human functioning include water, salts, acids, and bases. These compounds are inorganic, i.e., they do not have a carbon-hydrogen bond. Water...

Newman Projections

Newman Projections

Different notations are used to represent the three-dimensional structure of molecules on two-dimensional surfaces. One of the most commonly used representations is the dash-wedge formula. The dashed wedges, solid wedges, and the plane lines indicate the groups situated behind the plane, coming out of the plane, and in the plane, respectively.
The organic molecules rotate across the single bonds leading to numerous temporary three-dimensional structures of varying energy known as...

Essential Minerals for Bone Health

Essential Minerals for Bone Health

The minerals contained in all of the food we consume are essential for our organ systems. However, certain essential minerals, such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, and fluoride, largely affect bone health.
Calcium and Phosphorus
Calcium is a critical component of bones, especially in the form of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Since the body cannot make calcium, it must be obtained from the diet. However, calcium cannot be absorbed from the small intestine without...

Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Coordinates and Map Projections

Coordinates and Map Projections

Coordinates and map projections are essential tools in accurately representing the Earth's surface for various applications, ranging from navigation to spatial analysis. The latitude and longitude coordinate system is a universally recognized framework for defining locations. Latitude specifies the distance of a point north or south of the equator, measured in degrees from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. Longitude indicates a location's position east or west of the prime meridian,...

Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Curriculum Development
Competency-Based Education

Background:

Nursing education curricula are revising to adopt a competency-based education framework.
The 2021 American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials provide a framework for professional nursing education.
This framework aims to equip nursing graduates with essential skills for competent patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

To share a quality improvement project focused on integrating the AACN Essentials into Level I and Level II nursing programs.
To reflect on the curriculum development process for integrating the Essentials framework.
To present checklists that organize development phases and maintain efficient timelines.

Main Methods:

A collaborative curriculum development process was created and detailed.
The process outlines and organizes each phase of development for integrating the AACN Essentials.
Checklists were developed to manage tasks and timelines effectively.

Main Results:

A structured, collaborative process for integrating the AACN Essentials was established.
The project facilitated the organized incorporation of the Essentials framework into nursing programs.
Checklists provided a clear roadmap for curriculum development tasks.

Conclusions:

Nursing educators' collaboration is vital for successful curriculum changes.
The detailed development process ensures organized integration of the AACN Essentials.
This quality improvement project offers a model for implementing the Essentials framework across nursing program levels.
