OVERVIEW
The Billings and Halstead text describes various curriculum models and requests for nursing curricular revision to better meet the changing needs of current healthcare. There is a call for more integration of clinical and didactic teaching, increased emphasis on safety, focus on improving all health aspects of the nation, student centered learning, and interprofessional education, just to name a few.

3. After analyzing three curricular design models, discuss which model/revision that you would use to improve a change/potential change in nursing curriculum and how you would implement this change.
Note: If you are not currently a nurse educator, discuss proposed curricular revisions. I am not a nurse educator. I have included the curriculum for this class. You can use it for the proposed revisions.
