Regulation on the Quality of Education Provided by Nursing Schools
1. Guniee, Kathleen K., Ph.D. R.N. “The Aims and Methods of Nursing Education.” New York: The Macmillan Company. (1996)
Throughout the entire book, the whole nursing education and its essential components were discussed. Important parts noted in the book are: (1) the purpose and objectives of educational programs in nursing, (2) the nursing curriculum – defining, developing and planning its contents, (3) the selection of its teachers – points to consider when choosing one (4) factors that influence learning, (5) the lessons – steps in planning a lesson, reviewing, and assignments, (6) methods of teaching – selection of these should be based on some considerations, and (7) evaluative devices commonly used in schools of nursing. Furthermore, the author mentioned that though there are adjustments done in the nursing curriculum to adapt to its …show more content…
society’s needs, the principles, learning activities, and process remains same for all schools. This will evaluate if the current nursing curriculum and its components is effective enough to produce effective and professional nurses.
2. Commission on Higher Education. “Policies and Standards for Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Program.” CHED Memorandum Order No. 14 Series of 2009. <http://202.57.63.198/chedwww/index.php/eng/content/download/531/3187/file/CM
O_14_s2009.pdf>
This memorandum order, which contains the policies and standards for the BS Nursing Program, contains everything there is to know about the course. Included are the virtues that a nursing student must possess, nursing curriculum which contains its required subjects and electives, competency standards, and other requirements for the course. I, myself, recommend that each nursing student have a copy of this memorandum and all other memoranda concerning the said course. I actually was not aware until now that there were virtues needed to be possessed by a nursing student in any memorandum of CHED. This will help the nursing students realize their task and responsibility as a nursing student.
3. Greenawald, Deborah A. “Faculty Involvement Undergraduate Research: Considerations for Nurse Educators.” Nursing Education Perspectives 31.6 (Nov – Dec 2010): 368. <http://find.galegroup.com>
This article discusses the importance and benefits of the involvement of faculty (nurse educators) in the undergraduate research done by nursing students. According to the article, it is the faculty’s responsibility to help the students familiarize with the history, nature, and methods of their chosen discipline. Also, it is discussed in the article that the faculty must not only be involved in the research itself but also to encourage their students to do so. Included in the article are some aspects to be considered in creating research such as work load and time flexibility which can indeed affect the outcome of the research to be done.
4. Wodzinski, Amelia M. “Reshaping Nursing: Through Excellence in Education (End Note) (Duquesne University School of Nursing.” Nursing Education Perspectives 31.6 (Nov – Dec 2010): 406. <http://find.galegroup.com>
This article discusses the importance of a “community-based nursing curriculum” in the view of a newly graduated student from Duquesne University School of Nursing. According to Wodzinkski, having a community-based nursing has been able to produce strong, diverse, and well-prepared nurses who are qualified to treat the community as well as their patients. Just by analyzing the author’s point, it really will be of help to the nursing students since it will serve as somewhat an evaluation on how far the students have learned and how they are to adjust and incorporate this knowledge in real-life situations. True enough, it already has proved to be effective since the University of the Philippines – College of Nursing has its community service for fourth year students and even in the lower years.
5. Tanner, Christine A. “Transforming Prelicensure Nursing Education: Preparing the New Nurse to Meet Emerging Health Care Needs (Future of Nursing).” Nursing Education Perspectives 31.6 (Nov – Dec 2010): 307. <http://find.galegroup.com>
This article, along with the different articles I have read, discusses the preparation of the nursing students to adapt to health care needs of today and of the future. Producing effective nurses begin even before their licensure exam. This begins the moment they receive their nursing education. This is why the conception of the nursing curriculum is very complex for it will most probably dictate the kind of nurses the school will produce. Also, some weak points regarding the nursing curriculum, methods of teaching and habit-formation are noted in the article. Also, according to article, there must also be an investment in nursing education research and faculty development.
6. Stanley Mary Jo C., and Dougherty Jacalyn P. “A Paradigm Shift in Nursing Education: A New Model (Nursing Education Model).” Nursing Education Perspectives 31.6 (Nov – Dec 2010): 378. <http://find.galegroup.com>
The significance of changing the current model to a new one is vividly explained in the article.
The article explains the shift in model through 3 key concepts: the learner, the instructor, and outside learning modalities. Also, a table is given to further supplement the explanations given. Just like all other changes in nursing education, the goal of this paradigm shift is to improve the quality of education received by nursing students. Furthermore, the article also explains that the teachers cannot teach the students the way they were taught since the needs of the student population is different from before. There have been changes in the society and environment and technology, as well.
7. Commission on Higher Education. Deferment on the Implementation of CMO No. 16 s. 2006, otherwise known as ‘General Health Science Curriculum for Health Related Programs’ in the Nursing Programs. CHED Memorandum Order # 16 Series of 2007.
<http://202.57.63.198/chedwww/index.php/eng/content/download/483/2883/file/cmo_16_s2007.pdf>
This memorandum order, which was passed during the year 2007, is about the inclusion of a ‘General Health Science Curriculum for Health Related Programs’ in Nursing Programs. Including memorandums concerning BS Nursing will give us a track of the standards implemented for the course. This along with the standards for setting a better curriculum by foreign countries will help the country create the most favorable nursing curriculum which will train and educate nursing students to help them become holistic nurses in the future. Furthermore, the nursing students and not only the faculty must be aware of the different memoranda given by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).

This article discusses the essential role of registered nurses in primary care in the United States since it has been encountering challenges due to the shortcomings of its primary health care. Because of this, the role of the nurse is not only limited to what she was to do before. The Philippines is also undergoing the same situation - a problem in its health care system. This could serve as a reference to further develop the nursing curriculum since the role of future registered nurses will be more diverse and important in health care in the years to come.
9. Duffin, Christian. “New Education Standards to Embed Leadership and Teamworking Skills: Regulator Sets Out Competencies, ‘Skill Clusters,’ and Broader Standards Required of Aspiring Nurses.” Nursing Management (Harrow) 17.7 (Nov 2010): 7. <http://find.galegroup.com>
This article says that there must be new standards set in nursing education. According to the article, the standards must include 5 essential 'skill clusters,' namely: care, compassion and communication, organizational aspects of care, infection prevention and control, nutrition and fluid management, and medicines management. This will produce competent nurses for they can better handle different and new situations in our dynamic environment. Furthermore, it is said in the article that these standards for pre-nursing education will come into force in September next year. This can be proposed to the government to further enhance the quality of education received by nursing students.
10. Giddens, Jean Foret, and Morton, Nancy. “Report Card: An Evaluation of a Concept-Based Curriculum (Curriculum Evaluation).” Nursing Education Perspectives 31.6 (Nov – Dec 2010): 372. <http://find.galegroup.com>
This article gives an evaluation of the nursing curriculum in Mexico. According to the article, this nursing-based curriculum was developed to generate nursing graduates well-equipped for professional leadership in a rapidly changing health care environment. Using successful nursing curriculum from foreign countries can help the Philippines generate a curriculum better suited for its people. Also, since the article is about the evaluation curriculum in the University of Mexico, there were some issues and challenges raised. With that, we could create a better nursing curriculum and avoid the problems that they have already encountered - this means less hassle and problems for us to face.
