JUSTIFICATION

  • Course Changes require a justification and impact report.

    Forms submitted without appropriate justifications and/or an impact report will be returned to the proposer without consideration.

  • Justification For Course Change

    Course Description Rationale:The decision to modify the course description is rooted in the imperative to align with the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) competency requirements, ensuring that our curriculum reflects the latest standards and expectations within the field of nurse practitioner education. By incorporating these competency requirements into our course description, we aim to enhance the educational experience for our students, equipping them with the essential skills and knowledge necessary for success in their future roles as nurse practitioners. 

    Course Outcomes trationale:Updating CSLO's (Course Student Learning Outcomes) to align with both ANCC (American Nurses Credentialing Center) and NONPF (National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties) competencies is essential for ensuring that our educational program meets the highest industry standards. This alignment not only reflects our commitment to national benchmarks but also enhances the credibility and relevance of our curriculum. By integrating ANCC and NONPF competencies into our CSLO's, we demonstrate our dedication to preparing students for certification and practice in accordance with recognized professional standards. This update ensures that our graduates possess the comprehensive skill set and knowledge base required to excel in their roles as nurse practitioners, ultimately contributing to the continued excellence of our program and the success of our students in the healthcare field.
