...CURRICULUM REVISION A CONCEPTUAL MODEL to Support Curriculum Review, Revision, and Design in an Associate Degree Nursing Program B E T T Y W. D AV I S P A R T I C I PAT I O N IN CURRICULUM DESIGN of program outcomes has been identified as a core competency for nurse educators A N D E VA L UAT I O N (Billings & Halstead, 2009; Southern Regional Education Board, 2002). Facing declining NCLEX-RN® pass rates, faculty at an associate degree nursing program at a public community college in Mississippi responded to the National League for Nursing ([NLN] 2005b) call to transform nursing education by undertaking an intensive critique of its curriculum and program outcomes. Based on this analysis, a conceptual framework was created to guide curriculum revision, development, and implementation. The framework provides structure for ongoing and systematic curriculum review and revision. A review of the literature revealed the need to move from a teaching-centered to a learning-centered approach to teaching. Learning-centered institutional design is reflective of a number of principles: the need to bring about substantive change in participants; the full engagement of learners and the mindset that students bear primary responsibility for personal choices; multiple learning options to appeal to students’ preferred learning styles; the enhancement of collaboration; educators as learning facilitators; and measurement of success through the documented improvement...

...Factors That Contribute to Nurse Manager Retention Mickey L. Parsons, Jana Stonestreet Disclosures Nurs Econ. 2003;21(3) * Print * Email Introduction The purpose of this study was to describe factors that contribute to a health system's successful retention of nurse managers. This study is the first of a series that will provide the foundation for developing the nursing organization as a "health-promoting organization." The background and significance, theoretical framework, study findings, and executive strategies are discussed. The results and implications are intended to guide executive strategies, including organizational interventions, to build the nursing organization for quality patient care and positive working environments. Background and Significance The glue that holds the hospital together are the first-line managers. However, these managers are caught in a crossfire. Torn between multiple needs — patient, the staff, and the administration — nurse managers have been downsized and stretched over multiple units (Curtin, 2001). Nurse managers responsible for multiple units are severely challenged to maintain the needed blend and balance of clinical and business management, which is essential to staff nurse retention. Report after report identifies the importance of the nurse manager in retaining nursing staff (Boyle, Bott, Hansen, Woods, & Taunton, 1999; Corser, 1998; Cullen, 1999; Flannery & Grace, 1999; Fletcher, 2001; Kerfoot, 2000; Leveck...

...unique and student success focused institution.” I have shared that statement with numerous groups and it simply summarizes my basic philosophy of what Sullivan is all about. When I say that Sullivan is “student success focused,” I feel as President that I owe a definition of this statement to all who are considering Sullivan University. First, Sullivan is unique among institutions of higher education with its innovative, career-first curriculum. You can earn a career diploma or certificate in a year or less and then accept employment while still being able to complete your associate, bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree by attending during the day, evenings, weekends, or online. Business and industry do not expand or hire new employees only in May or June each year. Yet most institutions of higher education operate on a nine-month school year with almost everyone graduating in May. We remained focused on your success and education, and continue to offer our students the opportunity to begin classes or to graduate four times a year with our flexible, year-round full-time schedule of classes. If you really want to attend a school where your needs (your real needs) come first, consider Sullivan University. I believe we can help you exceed your expectations. Since words cannot fully describe the atmosphere at Sullivan University, please accept my personal invitation to visit and experience our campus for yourself. Sincerely, Glenn D. Sullivan President MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT ...

From international relations to neighborhood and family life, concerns about leadership ethics and human welfare are the focus of news, political movements, and civic initiatives. Emotionally engaging terms like “moral leadership,” “the free world” and “human freedom” are often used in the media without much explanation or clarification. Momentous decisions are made and life choices established in the name of values attached to these and similar terms. What do we really mean by “moral leadership,” or “freedom?” If two people use these terms in a conversation, do they explicitly share a common understanding of them or just assume common ground? For instance...
