Hello Class,
This week will shift our focus to the application of nursing theory to education. If you were planning a new undergraduate nursing program, what is one nursing theory (grand or middle-range) that you would incorporate into the curriculum? Please explain why you chose a particular theory.
The Course Outcomes to explore this week are:
Propose strategies for use of relevant theories that nurse leaders can employ in selected healthcare or educational organizations considering legal and ethical principles. (PO#2, 6).
Recommend strategies for the use of theory as the basis for actions of advanced nursing practice in leadership and education. (PO#5).
Key Concepts
- The use of grand and middle-range nursing theories to guide faculty during the curriculum-development process within the educational arena
- Use of grand and middle-range nursing theories in various educational settings
- Nursing theory guides the development of curriculum and courses within the education practice arena
- The use of theory to identify potential research questions
- The use of research to develop and/or refine theoretical concepts
For this discussion, answer the following question:
If you were planning a new undergraduate nursing program, what is one nursing theory (grand or middle-range) that you would incorporate into the curriculum? Explain your reasoning.
