Implement appropriate self-care education strategies with adults and families. Collaborate with consumers, professionals, and other groups in the delivery of primary health care nursing to adults within a community context. Classes are attended by students, faculty members, occasional guest presenters, guest families, and preceptors. Students are evaluated on group participation, evidence of critical thinking, and progress toward informed advanced practice nursing care of adult clients. Faculty members in this course use a Narrative- Centered Curriculum .
Narrative pedagogy challenges traditional thinking about teaching and learning in nursing.
Centered Curriculum are reading, writing, thinking, and dialogue to connect teachers and learners in a way that promotes the learning needs of the student and enables learners to achieve their own goals. In class, students identify their own learning issues and develop ways to resolve these issues with the help of the guiding faculty. Lectures are rare, and occur mainly at the request of the learners as a way of resolving learning issues. First suggested in the early 1970s, POR has become standard in nursing education as well as in clinical recording of patient progress. The POR system emphasizes that data must be complete, concise, internally consistent, and comprehensive.
