OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this project was to streamline the curriculum and better align course content with MS program expected learning outcomes, student learning needs, and recent accreditation requirements.
METHODS: Course expected learning outcomes were drafted and mapped to program expected learning outcomes and AACN The Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education (2021) concepts and sub-competencies. A two-course series totaling 5 credits was developed to integrate the 4Ps (pathophysiology, pharmacology, physical/health assessment, and health promotion) into an online master\'s level nursing curriculum while decreasing the total number of credits.
RESULTS: A total of 67 students successfully completed the online courses during the first semester. Minor revisions based on student feedback were made after the first implementation.
CONCLUSIONS: Integrating the 4Ps into a series of two courses is a feasible option for streamlining a generalist masters in nursing curriculum.

方法:起草了课程预期的学习成果,并将其映射到计划预期的学习成果和AACN要点:专业护理教育的核心能力(2021年)概念和子能力。开发了一个共5个学分的两道菜系列,以整合4Ps(病理生理学,药理学,身体/健康评估,和健康促进)进入在线硕士水平护理课程,同时减少学分总数。
结果:在第一学期,共有67名学生成功完成了在线课程。在首次实施后,根据学生的反馈进行了较小的修改。
结论:将4P整合到一系列两门课程中,是简化护理课程通才硕士的可行选择。
