Designing an integrated curriculum with a common core for an inter-disciplinary course in community nursing
Abstract:
This paper presents a curriculum model for inter-disciplinary courses in community nursing. The concern that the development of these courses could produce a generic nurse, resulting in the loss of specialist skills and knowledge from nurse practice is addressed. The argument is made, that by examining the field of practice and the field of study of the various nurse groups, it is possible to design a curriculum which will ensure that what is distinct and special for each nurse group can be maintained, developed and extended, within an inter-disciplinary course. The field of practice examined here is community nursing, but the principles of curriculum design should be equally relevant to all the nursing profession.
