When creating these curriculum components, consider the following:

· What is the long-term goal of your staff nursing education/professional development program?,

For example, a hypothetical setting such as Nightingale Regional Medical/Health Center might create a program focused on improving patient safety and quality care. As such, the overall program goal might be “to decrease the incidence of clinical error to below the national level.”

Draw on your own experience and reputable resources to gather information. Remember the importance of high-quality research to ensure the integrity of your work. Take careful notes to reference when you prepare your Part 2 Course Project Assignment that will be due in Week 5.

1: Developing Educational Program Mission, Vision, Philosophy

Use the following points to help guide your research and thinking:

· Create the vision for your nursing staff education program. Justify your vision by explaining how it supports the learning needs of the target staff nurses and how it is congruent with your selected medical/health center’s vision.

· Create the philosophy of your nursing staff education program. Justify your philosophy by explaining how it supports the learning needs of the target staff nurses and how it is congruent with your selected medical/health center’s philosophy.

· Create the overall program goal of your nursing staff education program. Justify your program goal by explaining how it supports the learning needs of the target staff nurses and how it is congruent with your selected medical/health center’s mission, vision, and philosophy.

· Explain how the mission vision philosophy and overall program goal help to guide the actions of both nurse educators and nursing staff learners in your setting.
