The document discusses the need for reform in nursing education to prepare nurses for the changing healthcare environment. It outlines driving forces including demands from reports calling for better prepared graduates and the need for a "new kind of nurse" to address practice changes. The Oregon Consortium for Nursing Education (OCNE) is presented as a response to transform nursing education through collaboration, a standardized competency-based curriculum, new teaching approaches, and reforming clinical education. OCNE aims to increase the number of BSN-prepared nurses through innovative models of nursing education.

2. Calls for Reform
Reexamination of curricular
structures & processes (The
Curriculum Revolution)
Preparing a new kind of nurse
3. The Curriculum Revolution
New pedagogies
Preparing tomorrows leaders
Multicultural diversity
Caring Curriculum
4. Demands for a New Kind of Nurse
Fueled by changes in the nursing
practice environment:
Increasing complexity and acuity
Decreased length of stay
Shift of care to home & community
Exponential growth of knowledge
Explosion of technologies
Identification of the “Quality Chasm”
5. Demands for a New Kind of Nurse
Fueled by changes in demographics:
Aging population with increased
prevalence of chronic illness
Families increasingly engaged in care
giving with little or no nursing
support
Increased attention to health-
promotion
8. A Short History of
Nursing Process
Clinical Problem Solving
Clinical Decision Making
Diagnostic Reasoning
Critical Thinking
in other words . . .
Thinking Like a Nurse
9. Two decades of Research on CT
Critical thinking and clinical thinking
(i.e., decision making, clinical
judgment) are different constructs.
No relationship between education &
critical thinking.
No relationship between critical
thinking and patient outcomes
10. Central Competencies
Clinical Judgment:
• Case based
• Contextually bound
• Interpretive reasoning
11. Central Competencies
Clinical Judgment requires deep
background knowledge for:
• Noticing
• Considering plausible interpretations
• Collecting reasonable evidence
• Choosing the best course of action
12. Central Competencies
Clinical Judgment is always within
• the context of a particular patient
• A deep understanding the patient’s
experience, values and preferences
• Ethical standards of the discipline
13. Central Competencies
Understanding clinical judgment in
this way
• Renews interest in case-based
approaches to instruction
• Demand new approaches to clinical
education
• Provides guidance to use of simulation
in nursing education
14. Central Competencies:
Quality-Safety Initiative
Patient-centered care
Team-work and collaboration
Evidence-based practice
Quality improvement
Informatics
20. Challenges in Clinical Education
Traditional clinical learning driven by
placement opportunities and challenges
Insufficient number of “placements” using
total patient care model
High acuity, greater risk with neophyte
students
Staff nurse burden for supervision of
students in rapidly changing situations
Learning is dependent on…
• Available patient population
• Facility’s schedule availability
• Availability of faculty with required expertise
21. Summary: Driving Forces for
Reform
Demands for Reform in Nursing
Education 1985-2005
• Study of Curricular processes
• Evidence of poorly prepared graduates
even for acute care
• Quality-safety
22. Summary: Driving Forces for
Reform
Demands for Reform in Nursing
Education 1985-2005
Need for a “new” nurse
Changes in the practice environment
Emerging health care needs
Practice in environment of severe
shortage
23. Summary: Driving Forces for
Reform
Demands for Reform in Nursing
Education 1985-2005
Need for a “new” nurse
Other pressures:
Content explosion
Advances in the science of learning
Outdated model of Clinical education
24. Part II: The Oregon Consortium for
Nursing Education
25. OCNE
A collaboration among 8 community
colleges and 5 campuses of OHSU to:
• Deliver a standard competency based
curriculum with an AAS exit and
completion of Baccalaureate in nursing on
“home” campus
• Increase the number of nurses prepared
with baccalaureate degree
• Transform nursing education to more
closely align with emerging health care
needs
26. A very short history of OCNE
2000: Study of nursing shortage in Oregon
2001: Strategic plan developed by Oregon Nursing leaders
2002: Education plan unveiled and political turmoil ensued
2003: Launched OCNE with Project Director
2004: Began curriculum development & Phase I of Faculty
Development
2005: Curriculum change approved by OSBN, NLNAC &
CCNE
2006: Phase I Clinical Education Project launched
2006: First class of 255 students admitted on 6 campuses
to nursing courses
2007: Phase II Faculty Development
2008: Preceptor Development
2009: First Baccalaureate class graduates
27. OCNE as a response to these
challenges
Committed to collaboration across
programs enabling the best use of scarce
resources
Standard, competency based curriculum
focused on preparing the “new” nurse.
Teaching approaches that rest on the
science of learning
Faculty development as an integral part of
curriculum development
Reform of clinical education
28. Guiding Principles in Curriculum
Design
Responsive to demands for reform
• NCSBN – 2001 – lack of preparation of
grads
• JCAHO (2002) – continental divide
between education and practice
• IOM reports
29. Guiding Principles in Curriculum
Design
Responsive to demands for reform
Emerging health care needs
• Aging population
• Increasing acuity
• Increasing prevalence of chronic
illnesses
• Demands placed on caregiving families
with inadequate nursing care support
30. Guiding Principles in Curriculum
Design
Responsive to demands for reform
Emerging health care needs
Graduates would be practicing in an
environment of chronic, severe RN
shortages
More efficient & effective with dwindling
supply of nursing faculty
Competencies of the “new” nurse would
require at least 4 years, but there would
need to be AD exit
31. Overview of the Curriculum
First year: Prerequisites
Second year & first two quarters of the
third year:
• Required non-nursing courses
• Standard nursing courses on all campuses
Third quarter of the third year:
• Complete Precepted Scope of Practice
