Fostering Innovation and Excellence in Undergraduate Programs
Carroll. lwasiw 한국간호과학회 2011 한국간호과학회 학술대회 Vol.2011 No.10
Offering an innovative program with a reputation for excellence is a goal of most nursing programs. Yet, schools of nursing may feel constrained in their programming by requirements of regulatory or accrediting bodies, faculty and other resource shortages, and expectations of agencies where students have practice experiences. Achievement of innovation and excellence in undergraduate programs requires intentional nurturing of an environment where faculty, students, and other stakeholders are respected; original ideas are welcomed; and high standards are valued. Within this context, evidence-informed curriculum development, implementation, and evaluation; faculty development; supportive and collaborative relationships; and the courage to think and act beyond the bounds of regulatory or accreditation requirements are pre-requisites for innovative programs of high quality. Although creating such a milieu begins with the formal leader of the nursing program, this responsibility ultimately rests with individual faculty members. The purpose of this presentation, therefore, is to consider strategies to promote innovation and excellence in undergraduate nursing programs. Considered will be the vital role of the formal leader in creating an environment where excellence and innovation can flourish, including astute hiring of faculty, attention to work life quality, participatory planning, and resource acquisition and allocation. Also included will be the responsibilities of faculty members to participate in activities and interactions that will lead to and support innovation and excellence in undergraduate programs, such as knowledgeable involvement in curriculum development and implementation, and faculty development to support the curriculum. Strategies to gain support from health agencies for innovation in nursing education programming will be addressed. Finally, attention will be given to what constitutes innovation and excellence in undergraduate programs in view of resource limitations in most schools of nursing.
