QSEN Competencies Guide Curriculum Design Team
The University of South Dakota (USD) Department of Nursing is moving from the traditional approach of a content-driven curriculum where the knowledge resides in the expert teacher and the students are passive recipients, to a learner-centered environment with systematic and integrated learning experiences that result in significant learning. During the fall of 2007, the department Mission and Governance committee developed a
curriculum framework that integrates the QSEN competencies. This framework will serve as a guide for inclusion of competencies into new courses as they are developed. A Curriculum Design Committee has been established and has begun this important work. The QSEN articles and other literature related to the importance of quality, and safety in today’s healthcare system has been used to support the new curricular model.
