To stay current with changes in health care and nursing practice, nursing faculty must have competencies in curriculum revisions. Despite these necessary competencies, curriculum redesign is not an easy task. Although there are a plethora of tools, techniques, and processes for embarking on a curriculum revision, few curriculum revisions are situated in quality improvement (QI) methods. This article provides an exemplar of how faculty in 1 prelicensure nursing program used the Collaborative Improvement Model (CIM), a model created using QI methods, to revise their curriculum. Learn how to use the CIM in this video and article.

Creator: Yordy, Morgan A. DNP, RN-BC, ACNS-BC, FCNS; Kartovicky, Leah MEd, CRC, NCC; Pope, W. Stuart DNP, DMin, RN

Duration: 3:00

Animal-assisted therapy (AAT) is based on the human-animal bond theory, which emphasizes the mutually beneficial bond that exists between humans and animals. The increased implementation of AAT in health care settings and the growing understanding of the positive impact of AAT emphasize the need for nurse educators to provide opportunities for students to learn more about AAT. The authors develop an AAT elective nursing course, which includes simulations as feasible means for students to explore applications of AAT in hospital and home settings.

For practice readiness, graduates need minimal competence in many areas. A systematic literature review was done to determine whether there is evidence of the objective assessment of learning in the senior year that aligns with the new AACN domains. Database searches in Scopus, CINAHL, Ovid MEDLINE, ERIC, and Web of Science resulted in 40 peer-reviewed articles. MERSQI scoring was applied. Six of the 10 AACN domains were addressed in the literature. Many studies used investigator-developed tools with no validity or reliability.

In a medical-surgical course, we created a scenario-recorded activity to provide an innovative way for students to develop their cultural competence. The assignment objectives are aligned with the student learning outcomes and QSEN competencies. The student is given a specific cultural scenario upon arriving to the simulation lab; the student then acts out how to handle the situation as a culturally competent nurse while being videotaped. Video debriefing occurs with the student and nurse educator, which allows reflection on the performance. After the debriefing, the student completes a reflective activity.
