Discussion: Applying Learning Theories to
Nursing Curriculum and Programs
Theorists have always been interested in how people learn. They have created and refined learning theories and provided authentic

examples of human motivation and learning preferences. Much research has also been conducted on how educators teach others. Literature

suggests that even when educators did not believe that they were using a theory, they were in fact using one or more to drive their

instruction. Though nurse educators may naturally incorporate theories into their instruction, great care should be taken to

consciously incorporate theories into the design and presentation of the curriculum. Doing so will not only benefit diverse learners

but also aid in the curriculum development process.
In this Discussion, you explore how learning theories offer distinct strategies, approaches, and considerations.
To prepare:
• Review the learning theories presented in this week’s Learning Resources.

(http://www.instructionaldesign.org/theories/index.html), How can each theory, or combination of theories, guide the curriculum

development process?
• Reflect on the curriculum or program that your team is developing for your Course Project. In addition, reflect on the learning

needs and diverse learning styles of your students/staff/patients.
• Select one learning theory that you could apply to your team’s curriculum or program. Consider how this learning theory could

guide your team’s curriculum development process.
• Access the “VARK: A Guide to Learning Styles” website, also found in this week’s Learning Resources. Complete the learning

styles assessment and review your scores and learning preferences. These results will assist you in your response post. ( http://vark-

learn.com/the-vark-questionnaire/?p=questionnaire)
Note: For the purposes of this Discussion, individually reflect and respond to this prompt. After Day 3, you can then use the insights

shared in each of your postings to further collaborate with your team and identify learning theories that are applicable to your Course

Project.
Post a brief description of how learning theories guide curriculum development. Identify your Course Project setting and provide a

brief description of your team’s proposed curriculum or program. Explain how your selected theory applies to your team’s

curriculum/program by sharing at least two authentic examples.

Compare and contrast the roles of the NP, nurse educator, nurse informaticist, and nurse administrator in advanced practice nursing pertaining to clinical practice, primary care, education, administration, and research.

Overview/Description: The final assignment will synthesize what you have discovered about the different advanced practice roles and scope of practice found in the master of nursing curriculum: NP, nurse educator, nurse informaticist, and nurse administrator. You will review all roles and then examine the specialty(Family Nurse Practitioner) for which you were admitted, focusing on the scope of practice, core competencies, certification requirements, and legal aspects of practice for that specific role. You will also identify the practice environment and population you will be working with, as well as peers and colleagues. In addition, you will discuss your future leadership role and participation in professional organizations.

Your paper is to be based on current literature, standards of practice, core competencies, and certification bodies for your chosen role. The paper should be 10–12 pages excluding the title and reference, and APA format is required.

Criteria:

Advanced Practice Roles in Nursing:
Compare and contrast the roles of the NP, nurse educator, nurse informaticist, and nurse administrator in advanced practice nursing pertaining to clinical practice, primary care, education, administration, and research.
Selected Advanced Practice Role:
Examine regulatory and legal requirements for the state in which you plan to practice.
Describe the professional organizations available for membership based on your selected role.
Identify required competencies, including certification requirements for your selected role.
Predict the organization and setting, population, and colleagues with whom you plan to work.
Leadership Attributes of the Advanced Practice Role:
Determine your leadership style (http://psychology.about.com/library/quiz/bl-leadershipquiz.htm).
Identify leadership attributes you currently possess, and attributes you may need to develop.
Determine how to attain and evaluate those missing attributes.
Health Policy and the Advanced Practice Role
Visit the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (http://www.rwjf.org/en/about-rwjf/newsroom/features-and-articles/health-policy.html) and identify a health policy issue. Conduct a review of literature and address the following:
Describe the current policy and what needs to change; justify your conclusions with citations from the literature.
Provide the process required to make the change with key players and parties of interest.
Explain how you could lead the effort to make or influence the change in policy.
Predict the effect on healthcare quality if the change in policy is implemented.

Memorial Hospital

Memorial Hospital is a privately owned 600-bed facility. The hospital provides a broad range of health care services, including complete laboratory and X-ray facilities, an emergency room, an intensive care unit, a cardiac care unit, and a psychiatric ward. Most of these services are provided by several other hospitals in the metropolitan area. Memorial has purposely avoided getting involved in any specialized fields of medicine or obtaining very specialized diagnostic equipment because it was felt that such services would not be cost-effective. The General Hospital, located only a few miles from Memorial, is affiliated with the local School of Medicine and offers up-to-date services in those specialized areas. Instead of trying to compete with General Hospital to provide special services, Memorial Hospital has concentrated on offering high-quality general health care at an affordable price. Compared with the much larger General Hospital, Memorial stresses close personal attention to each patient from a nursing staff that cares about its work. In fact, the hospital has begun to place ads in newspapers and on television, stressing its patient-oriented care.

However, the hospital’s administrator, Janice Fry, is concerned about whether the hospital can really deliver on its promises, and worries that failure to provide the level of health care patients expect could drive patients away. Janice met recently with the hospital’s managerial personnel to discuss her concerns. The meeting raised some questions about how the hospital’s quality of health care could be assured. Jessica Tu, director of nursing, raised the question, “How do we measure the quality of health care? Do we give patients a questionnaire when they leave, asking if they were happy here? That does not seem to answer the question because we could make a patient happy, but give them lousy health care.” Several other questions were asked concerning the hospital’s efforts to keep costs down. Some people were concerned that an emphasis on costs would be detrimental to quality. They argued that when a person’s life is at stake, costs should not be of concern.
