Critical Thinking Exercises :

Case Study #1: Jasmine University School of Nursing

Faculty of Jasmine University School of Nursing have worked
diligently to develop a new curriculum. Although they considered the advantages
of an upper-division nursing program, they decided to continue with their
4-year integrated curriculum. The new curriculum is based in phenomenology,
feminism, and humanism, with a strong emphasis on community-based nursing.
However, hospital-based practice remains a feature of the curriculum.
Concurrent with the introduction of the new curriculum will be a fifty percent
increase in the class size from 100 to 150.

For more than 35 years, university students have had
on-campus classes from Monday to Wednesday, with hospital-and community-based
clinical practice on Thursday and Friday, during the day. Other nursing
programs in the city have had clinical experiences at other times.

As they discuss phasing out the existing curriculum and
introducing the redesigned one, faculty identify a significant problem with
clinical placements. Currently, fourth-year students have an experience on
maternal-infant units in the fall semester. In the changed curriculum, this
experience is scheduled in the fall and winter semesters of the second year (75
students in each semester). Both groups have 2 days of clinical experience each
week. This means that for 2 consecutive years, 100 fourth-year students and 75
second-year students require placements on the same units on the same days in
the fall semester. In addition, the popularity of home births, discharges from
hospital, 8–24 hours after delivery, and city-wide hospital restructuring, will
lead to a 40% decrease in the number of family birthing rooms.

What are the logistical considerations in this case?

What options are possible to address this situation?

What are the likely implications for students, faculty, and
clinical agency personnel for each of the options proposed?

Should faculty reconsider the design of the new curriculum?
Justify whether or not they should.

In what ways can faculty prevent situations such as this
when a revised curriculum is being planned and implemented?

Case Study #2

A national nursing accrediting body has notified you that
your program is due for reaccreditation in 3 years. What steps must you take to
be prepared for the accreditation team? Develop a plan of action to evaluate
and document student and program outcomes, and organize the documents obtained.

Based on the best evidence, choose an evaluation model and
evaluation tools, develop a method to track outcome evidence, and a plan to
delegate certain evaluation components.

Develop a timeline and action plan.

Discuss your timeline, action plan, and impact of
accreditation with at least two other students.

What are the evaluation obstacles facing your nursing
program and what plan do you have to overcome these obstacles?
