Curriculum Development in Nursing Education

by Carroll L. Iwasiw

Curriculum Development in Nursing Education, Second Edition continues its dedication to the advancement of nursing education, and in particular, to the ongoing development of relevant yet dynamic nursing education curricula. This Second Edition offers current, accessible, and comprehensive tips and tools and incorporates a balance of theoretical perspectives and practical applications. The Second Edition has been completely revised and updated and includes an expanded focus on developing a context-relevant curriculum. A major determinant in any nursing education curriculum is the context in which the curriculum is developed and offered. This context is the professional, societal, health care, and educational situations to which the curriculum must respond, and is what makes each school s curriculum unique. Curriculum Development in Nursing Education helps nurse educators create a program of study that will meet the contextual needs of their individual setting.

Nursing curriculum textbook

Nursing curriculum textbook. Mostly curriculum development theory. Didn't learn anything useful for a master's level class. Maybe it's useful for DNP or PhD nursing programs.

Required reading for an MSN class. Some chapters more interesting than others, good textbook for a class on developing nursing curriculum.
