Question: Curriculum on a leadership development program for novice nurses," organization selected was Wisconsin Center for Nursing (WCN) for the assignment. Last weekes assignment is the power point attached and the .doxc file plus details below are how the assignment is to be completed. Answer: Nursing Leaders and education based industry standards Development of nursing leadership is significant in the changing health care system of todays world (Huber, 2013). Nurse leaders have the influence on patient outcomes, staff satisfaction and the fiscal status of the health care organization (Yoder-Wise, 2014). Nursing leadership development program are built by many organizations to provide novice nurses with knowledge on how to be an effective leader. The nursing curriculum is to be considered effective when there is a clear understanding of the standards that go with the curriculum. In leadership development, the standards guide the curriculum development (Waddell et al., 2015). The purpose of aligning the nursing curriculum with industry standards is to make the sure quality curriculum that has distinguishing features determining the fulfillment of the standard (MacPhee et al., 2012). Leadership development programs are to be built based on an extent of curriculum content. The Wisconsin Center for Nursing (WCN) is to develop a cu rriculum on leadership development program for novice nurses. The present paper is an industry standards paper the describes the industry standards pertinent to the proposed curriculum on leadership development. One agency, one state and one federal education-based industry standard, the purpose of the standards, how the standards are relevant to the proposed curriculum and how it will influence the development and how the proposed curriculum is going to meet the education-based standards and the advantages of doing so. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and their proposed carriculum Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has set up some guidelines for nursing leadership that includes nursing education. The standards identify that all the specific aspects of nursing leadership must be included in the curriculum, and practical knowledge is to be given. The agency provides evidence-based material to the curriculum by studying the quality of care and the decisions for improving the healthcare outcomes (Kronick, 2014). Facilities that incorporate the standards to nurse education have high leadership qualities among the novice nurses. By aligning the leadership development curriculum on the guidelines, the aim of the curriculum will be fulfilled, and the nurses can assure improved and better health outcomes. The State of Wisconsin Board of Nursing states that the curriculum must be organized and developed for including the attitudes, abilities, skills and knowledge of nurses that is necessary for the particular levels of student achievement (Billings Halstead, 2013). By including the standards of the state board, nursing leadership development curriculum will succeed in meeting the standards of nursing practice. Experiences are to be provided for enabling the learner to enhance the skills and knowledge regarding leadership. The state board of nursing also states that the nurses must undertake a particular practice only if the nurse has the proper experience, knowledge and preparation to execute fairly the practice. The providing leadership education, the nurse educator, makes sure that the staff is complying with the requirement of licensure in the state for nursing. The American Nurses Association (ANA) developed the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) for teaching nurses and other members of the healthcare team to implement leadership throughout the course of their practice. The training standards program is to be incorporated in the nursing curriculum (Alspach, 2015). By including the training program, the curriculum will be aligned with the standards of ANA. By making the alignment, quality, safe and evidence-based practice will be implemented. The standards of ANA are regularly reviewed and applied as standards of care in nursing that is to be developed for accommodating the latest evidence-based practice in nursing. This has the potential to affect the care of the patients. The proposed curriculum of AHRQ and education-based industry standards The proposed curriculum would meet the education-based standards by the following steps. The curriculum would be determined to understand what the curriculum is about and the scope and sequence for learning. The main components of the curriculum would be a rationale, a short overview of the content description, the description of the student audience, connections to national standards, intended learning outcomes, an instructional plan, a plan for assessment and materials, texts and other resources for fulfillment of the curriculum (Keating, 2014). The curriculum would represent a huge shift in paradigm in the field of leadership development. The curriculum would be made by looking at the standards, recognizing the dispositions and knowledge and demonstrate the meeting of the standards (Iwasiw, 2014). The curriculum will allow the students to fulfill the outcomes. For this purpose, all the activities would be taken up that would reach the target. Curriculum assessment would be taken u p for allowing the students to track the success and the educators to determine whether the students are meeting the standards. New approaches to the teaching would be carried out and made in such a manner that the needs of the students are met (Richardson et al., 2014). Industry standards are the proper guidance for nursing leadership development curriculum by making specific the bench mark for measuring the curriculum. Incorporating the standards in the implementation of the nursing curriculum will make sure that learners achieve success and the nursing program fulfills the course objectives. The alignment of the industry standards is to match with the vision and mission of the facility and the competencies of the curriculum standards. Developing a nursing curriculum comprising of different standards makes sure that professional, safe and quality nursing practice is implemented. The focus of the curriculum is to be on the attitudes, skills and knowledge of the learners. By the integration of the industry standards into nursing curriculum, nurse educators make sure that the program is approved and accredited. By aligning with the industry standards, the process of care and clinical outcomes of the broad spectrum of care quality of the healthcare sys tem will be enhanced. The curriculum will provide support to the nurses for establishing the standards of excellence in care. With the help of the accreditation standards and the presence of multi-resources and the accreditation bodies, the curriculum topic, based on the latest evidence-based practice and the alignments of regulations and standards of the nursing practice.
