    Nursing education aims to prepare nurses with the knowledge and skills to meet community healthcare needs compassionately. However, trends in society continually change and complexity increases. With expanding technology and internet access, the volume of available knowledge is growing exponentially, allowing nurses to communicate and access information quickly. While this provides benefits, it also presents issues around time management, integrating vast information, and keeping up with technological changes. Additionally, nursing education is shifting towards practice-based competency outcomes that specify the skills needed in practice, rather than just memorizing content. This change focuses more on integrating knowledge, decision-making, and achieving competencies through interactive learning and performance assessments.

    TRENDS AND ISSUES IN

    CONTEMPORARY NURSING
    EDUCATION

    TRENDS AND ISSUES IN CONTEMPORARY


    NURSING EDUCATION
    Nursing education is always concerned with

    preparing nurses with enough knowledge


    and skills to meet the health care needs of
    the community with compassion.
    How it does this is shaped by a number of

    trends and issues in society, which change


    continually and with increasing complexity.

    Knowledge Expansion and Use of


    Technology and the Internet
    With the ever-expanding developments in

    computer technology, the volume of


    knowledge is expanding exponentially.
    From e-mails to complex research documents
    and video images, nurses and students are
    communicating more frequently, with more
    contacts and with the speed of light.

    Knowledge Expansion and Use of


    Technology and the Internet
    This ability to access and disseminate

    unlimited information almost instantly has


    enormous benefits but also presents major
    issues.
    Computer-accessible knowledge has become
    the potential content for nursing and other
    courses and the standards for practice.
    Websites generally are more interactive than
    texts and link to multitudes of other helpful
    resources (Nicoll, 2000; Skiba, 1997)

    Knowledge Expansion and Use of

    Technology and the Internet

    Issues relate to time management, the

    integration of all the information available,


    keeping up with changes in technology, and
    meeting the expectations for immediate
    responses to an ever widening web of
    contacts.
    Faculty and students have similar issues
    related to knowledge and technology
    expansion, the scope of information, and the
    time to use it.

    Practice-Based Competency

    Outcomes

    Trends in business and commerce often find their

    way into higher education and nursing education.


    In business the outcome of spending time and
    resources based on actual needs is what counts in
    determining financial success.
    The same is true for nursing practice and nursing
    education.
    Students (nurses) achieve the competency
    outcomes that specify the skills actually needed in
    practice.

    Practice-Based Competency
    Outcomes
    For students it means a change from memorizing

    class notes and readings to learning to integrate


    knowledge, make decisions, and be competent and
    confident in the abilities contained in course
    outcomes.
    Practice-based competency outcomes specify the
    destination students need to reach, the interactive
    learning strategies are the directions and guidelines
    for getting there, and performance-based
    assessment confirms they have arrived at the right
    place.
    These changes in the entire education process pose
    threats and concerns to all the stakeholders that
    need to be resolved (Bargagliotti, Luttrell, and
    Lenburg, 1999).

    Practice-Based Competency
    Outcomes
    Lenburg's Eight Core Practice Competencies

    Assessment and Interventions

    Critical Thinking

    Communication

    Teaching

    Human Caring Relationships

    Management

    Leadership

    Knowledge Integration

    Practice-Based Competency
    Outcomes
    Competency outcomes incorporate these practice-

    based skills, as well as the course content.


    Learning strategies and performance examination
    are based on outcomes and content.
    Several articles describe the model, process, and
    related issues as used by others (Luttrell et al.,
    1999; Redman, Lenburg, and Walker, 1999).
    Critical thinking is perhaps the most pivotal
    competence, as seen in many resources (Critical
    thinking, 2000; Rubenfeld and Scheffer, 1995).
