We help nursing schools with curriculum development and national accreditation preparation

Services

Nurse Consultant Associates apply their advanced expertise in the U.S. and internationally to:

  • Prepare nursing schools for the national accreditation process
  • Support nursing program and curricula development to strengthen educational outcomes
  • Address regulatory requirements to ensure nursing program compliance at the state level
  • Assist organizations to develop and implement systematic program evaluation plans.

 

Nursing Curriculum Development and RevisionNursing Curriculum Development/Revision

If you are pursuing national accreditation, aligning your curriculum with CCNE,  ACEN or CNEA Standards is crucial. Remember that any new program must be approved by state boards.

Whether you are developing a new program or revising, realigning, or modifying a current curriculum, the process begins with assessing the philosophy, mission, and values of the institution/organization.

NCA consultants assist both faculty and administration in assessing program needs to achieve the desired outcomes. NCA also help in evaluating new pedagogies, teaching/learning strategies, and methods for aligning with the organizational structure, philosophy, resources, and professional standards.

Here are only a few of the trends being incorporated into nursing curricula at all levels:

  • Patient-centered care
  • Evidence-based practice
  • Interprofessional education, and
  • Quality improvement methods

How can you ensure you’ve met the criteria and kept up to date? NCA consultants can help.
