Service Scholarship FIGURE 1 William Jewell College Department of Nursing Curricular Framework Nurse Professional Nurse Professional Integrity Compassion WJC Nursing Student Excellence in Nursing Practice Level I Level II Level III Leadership Nurse Professional Nurse Professional 4/97; revised 6/04, 3/07. Curricular Framework The curriculum in the nursing program at WJC is depicted in Figure 1 as the Curricular Framework. The framework shows the WJC nursing student in the center of the curriculum with the six hallmarks shown as arrows directed from the student outward leading to the nurse professional. The three levels, representing progressive competency in the curriculum, are shown as concentric circles around the WJC student, intersected by the six hallmarks. Each of the three levels builds upon a liberal arts foundation and includes courses that increase in complexity to reach final program outcomes. The nursing curriculum is composed of both course and program requirements. The course requirements are outlined in the course syllabi. Hallmarks and Outcomes The WJC nursing program is distinguished by the six hallmarks that characterize the values of the department and outcomes for graduates. The six WJC nursing program hallmarks are integrity, compassion, scholarship, leadership, excellence in nursing practice and service to others. A hallmark is defined as a distinguishing characteristic, trait, or feature that indicates quality or excellence (Merriam-Webster, 2004). These hallmarks also function as program outcomes. Nursing courses are organized by using program outcomes to define course objectives and outcomes. Outcomes are identified for each of the three program levels and occur with increasing complexity, building upon one another within the curriculum. The six outcomes are considered essential characteristics of a WJC BSN nursing graduate as reflected in the curricular framework (Figure 1) by the six arrows leading to the final outer ring of the circle, the nurse professional. The six outcomes are listed below and defined with the level three or final outcomes listed after each outcome. 13
HALLMARK STUDENT OUTCOMES DEFINED Integrity is the characteristic of being honest and responsible for one’s actions, trusted by others, and loyal to commitments made to individuals, institutions, communities, and the profession and to one’s self. The professional assumes responsibility for the quality of nursing care by utilizing a recognized body of liberal and professional knowledge, providing services to society, demonstrating accountability and autonomy, and upholding ethical standards. Hallmark Student Outcome: Reflects personal integrity as a nurse professional. Compassion is the empathic response to the distress of another that results in a desire to help or alleviate stress in a caring and sensitive manner. Compassion moves one to act as advocate, provider, facilitator, or teacher. This dynamic exchange, through interpersonal and multi-level information is the foundation for caring nursing relationships, requiring the nurse to provide clear, accurate information with consideration to cultural, educational, developmental, and linguistic factors while maintaining respect to privacy and confidentiality. Hallmark Student Outcome: Cultivates caring nurse/client relationships with compassion and cultural sensitivity. Scholarship is the desire to explore and seek learning that improves individuals, their practice and advances the profession of nursing. Scholarship is a life-long process of intellectual growth with reflective and reasoned thinking that requires intellectual reflexivity, creativity, and humility. Scholarship is used to guide belief and action within an ethical framework Hallmark Student Outcome: Assumes responsibility for lifelong learning within the discipline of nursing Leadership is demonstrating effective collaboration skills in the role of a follower or person in charge. Leaders thrive in diverse environments and are comfortable as both leaders and as followers displaying the ideal of servant leadership. Hallmark Student Outcome: Exemplifies servant leadership in all environments Excellence in Practice is marked by the nurse who provides superior nursing care in both the art and science of nursing. Art is the ability to communicate, to critically evaluate and use the nursing process effectively in collaboration with individuals, families, groups, and communities. Science is the ability to base practice on sound evidenced and standards of care so the best possible outcomes are obtained without wasting precious resources. Hallmark Student Outcome: Delivers evidence-based nursing of superior quality in varied health environments. Service to others is listening to and assessing the needs of others (individuals, families, communities, and the world) to promote health and the common good for all. Service demonstrates Christian values by willingly providing stewardship and service to others in a caring attitude that respects the value and dignity of all human beings. Hallmark Student Outcome: Integrates skills, knowledge, and Christian values in service to others. Relationship of Critical Thought and Inquiry (CTI) and Nursing Curriculum The Jewell Journey represents a major investment in, and commitment to a liberal arts education that is inter-disciplinary and real-world focused. This unique program takes advantage of rich curricular and diverse co-curricular activities carefully designed to promote intellectual and personal growth during the student’s time at Jewell. By the time students graduate, they will be skilled with deep content knowledge in their majors, practical experience, personal maturity, and the intellectual habits of mind for very real career and life successes in a world of accelerating change and challenge. The theme of CTI is The Responsible Self in which students experience interdisciplinary investigation of major themes from widely divergent views in literature, religion, culture, and ethics. In addition to the course with this title, students in the first level study written and oral communication, statistics, and math model building. These courses form the basis for critical thinking skills as well as skills of analysis. The communication courses provide opportunities for the students to improve written and oral skills. Statistics and math model building assists the student in analyzing data which is necessary for reading, utilizing, and engaging in research. Students complete all of the first level and some of the second level of the CTI core prior to beginning the Department of Nursing curriculum. 14
