Abstract

Abstract: The Nursing Curriculum Committee has a critical role in improving the quality of nursing programs and ensuring that standards from accreditation agencies and professional organizations are met. The work of the committee also presents opportunities for faculty to confirm that programs meet the needs of the community and address current trends. A systematic schedule for review helps with organization and ensures that all courses and programs are reviewed. Developing a systematic approach and sharing this information with faculty allows for a transparent method of reviewing courses and programs, as well as preparing faculty for their role in this process.
