Partnerships of education and practice
BSN completed in no more that four academic years
Substantive curriculum transformation
Strong evaluation plans to provide data and analyze
strategies
• Intentional strategies to increase diversity of students and
graduates
•
•
•
•
• Associate degree in nursing (ADN) nurses with an RN
advance directly to BSN
• May be more affordable
• The American Association of Colleges of Nursing(AACN)
supports provided the Baccalaureate Essentials are utilized
and the program is accredited
• Especially beneficial for nurses who are place bound with
limited access to other options
• May require legislative changes
• Does not include a four year BSN
• Offers a shorter timeline to completion than traditional BSN
or MSN
• An accelerated model that values the practice experience
of AD nurses and meets BSN criteria
• Is seamless and university based
• Emphasizes practice components
• A major challenge of this model is meeting the needs of
students with varying clinical expertise
• Models meet AACN/CCNE Accreditation standards
• Educational collaboratives between universities and
community colleges to enable automatic and seamless
transition from an AD t0 BSN program
• All schools share curriculum, simulation facilities and
faculty
• Shared components include pre-requisites and graduation
requirements
• Requires formal articulation agreements and buy in from
legislative bodies and institutions
• Partners from different education programs develop a
shared understanding , common goals and education
framework
• Partners universally agree on the outcomes
• The scope of the curriculum reaches beyond core
competencies and across the entire profession focusing on
knowledge, attitudes and skills
• The curriculum is not standardized but aims to reach
standardized outcomes
• Partners from different education programs develop a
shared understanding , common goals and education
framework
• Partners universally agree on the outcomes
• The scope of the curriculum reaches beyond core

Curriculum for the Future
Assumptions for the Model
Our Five Shared Beliefs

Education and Practice partnerships are key to
developing an effective model.
– Nursing education and practice setting should facilitate individuals to
move more effectively move through the educational system.
– An integrated practice/education competency model will positively
impact patient safety and improve patient care.
– Nursing practice should be differentiated according to the registered
nurse’s educational preparation and the level of practice and further
defined by the role of the nurse and the work setting
– Practice environments that support and enhance professional
competence are essential.
Assumptions for the Model
Our Five Shared Beliefs

It is imperative that leaders in nursing education
and practice develop collaborative curriculum
models to facilitate the achievement of a minimum
of a baccalaureate degree in nursing (BSN) by all
nurses.
– Advancing the education of all nurses is increasingly being
recognized as essential to the future of nursing practice.
– Evidence has demonstrated that nurses with higher education
levels have a positive impact on patient care.
Assumptions for the Model
Our Five Shared Beliefs

There is a need to develop a more effective educational
system that is capable of incorporating the shifting
demographics in order to prepare the nursing workforce to
respond to current and future health care needs and
population health issues.
– The competencies are designed to be applicable across all care
settings and to encompass all patient populations across the
lifespan.
– In this global society, essential to the care of diverse populations is
the need for evidence-based knowledge and sensitivity to variables
such as age, gender, culture, health disparities, socioeconomic
status, race, and spirituality.
Assumptions for the Model
Our Five Shared Beliefs

The nurse of the future will be proficient at a core
set of competencies.
– There is a differentiation in competencies among practicing nurses
at various levels.
– Competence is developed over a continuum and can be measured

Nurse educators in both education and practice
settings will need to use a different set of
knowledge and teaching strategies to effectively
integrate the Nurse of the Future competencies
into curriculum.
The Process
Began with Questions

What are the models that are out there for
competencies?
 What competencies are currently being used
in Massachusetts?
 What do we need to develop a common
framework for the future in Massachusetts?
The IOM Vision
2003

All health professionals should be
educated to deliver patient centered care
as members of an interdisciplinary team,
emphasizing evidence-based practice,
quality improvement approaches and
informatics.

Gap Analysis
Definition
Technique for determining the steps to be taken in moving
from a current state to a desired future state.
It begins with (1) listing of characteristic factors (such as
attributes, competencies, performance levels) of the
present situation (“what is”), (2) cross-lists factors
required to achieve the future objectives (“what could
be”), and then (3) highlights the ‘gaps' that exist and
need to be 'filled.' Also called need-gap analysis, needs
analysis, and needs assessment.

Different Approaches with Common Goal and Framework


New Hampshire
• 4 partnerships worked on models
• Two models seamless progression models
created
Rhode Island
• All five nursing programs working on the gap
analysis, curriculum redesign and curriculum
implementation
• One bridge course for the all nurses in state to
progress to BSN level
Learning From the Redesign Process

There is a need for a common language between education
and practice.

Similar gaps in curriculum across states in both ADN and
BSN programs
• System Based practice
• Informatics
• Quality Improvement
• Evidenced based practice
• Communication
• Leadership

Practice needs to be involved early in the education process

There is tremendous energy in collaboration and the
dialogue that occurs between education and practice in the
process

A New Perspective
• We are all focused on the same goal: Increasing the supply
of BSN and doctorally prepared nurses
• Each state is moving at its own pace
• CCNA wants to provide support as states continue
progress toward education transformation
“This is a marathon, not a sprint”
Don’t be left behind!
What would Florence Say
“Nursing is an unending process of learning.”
“For us who nurse, our nursing is a thing which, unless we
are making progress every year, every month, every week,
take my word for it, we are going back." .
Real change does not come from decree, pressure,
permission or persuasion.
Real change comes from people who are passionately
and personally committed to a decision or direction
that they helped to shape.
Margaret Wheatley
