Case Study #1: McLanahan University

McLanahan University is an accredited university of approximately 28,000 full-time and 12,000 part-time students, offering baccalaureate, masters, and doctoral programs. It is located in a multicultural city of 1,200,000 inhabitants. There are five acute care hospitals, one of which is a 375-bed magnet hospital. Other health care facilities in the city include three chronic and long-term care agencies, numerous nursing homes, eight home health care agencies, a public health unit, physicians’ and nurse practitioners’ offices, and walk-in clinics.

Dr. Seranous Koupouyro is the director of The McLanahan School of Nursing, which comprises 10 masters-prepared and 11 doctorally-prepared full-time nursing faculty. Faculty have been meeting for four months to redesign the BSN curriculum. Part-time faculty have been regularly invited to join the curriculum work, but their involvement has been slight. The goal is to implement the revised curriculum in 18 months for a class of 125 students.

The Total Faculty group endorsed the existing humanistic-caring, feminist philosophical approaches. Core curriculum concepts, key professional abilities, and principal teaching-learning approaches were identified and the curriculum nucleus endorsed.

The curriculum committee has developed the outcome statements, and after these were approved, they formulated the level competencies. The outcome statements address the provision of evidence-based nursing care in accordance with regulatory standards, effective communication and management, ethical and cultural competence, and advocacy to enhance social justice. The faculty are now ready to consider the curriculum design.

How should the curriculum committee proceed with the work yet to be done?

What should the curriculum committee consider next?

What resources would assist the committee in its curriculum design process?

What should be included in the curriculum design?

How will the curriculum nucleus influence the curriculum design?

How could nursing and non-nursing courses be determined?
