Moving Forward Together• Learning from one another• Sharing best practices
23
Education Learning Collaborative Updates
• All states within the Northeast region have many activities occurring within their Action Coalitions
• We are focusing on the education transformation work and the information that has been shared with us following the Northeast meeting and in recent updates
24
Northeast Perspective on the Models
• Conducting statewide Survey on Utilization of the MA Nurse of the Future Core Competencies
• Developing specific goals, strategies and activities timeline for a statewide plan for academic progression in Nursing
• Conducting an Academic Progression Survey statewide to inform the work of developing a statewide Nursing Education Transfer Compact
• Success in engaging stakeholders across the state to provide funding support
25
Northeast Perspective on the Models
• Has both competency based and shared curriculum models within the state
• CUNY is developing the competency based model in four of its community colleges with shared admission criteria and seamless progression to two senior colleges
• St. Joseph’s College and LeMoyne College have a dual degree, dual admission shared curriculum model
• This model is now being replicated in other colleges in various regions of the state including two schools within the CUNY system
• State work is an excellent example of how different approaches can be used within a state and even within a system to reach the 80/20 goal
26
Northeast Perspective on the Models
• Focused on developing a plan for a competency based curriculum
• In discussion with PA Coalition for the Advancement of Nursing Education (PCANE) and AC
Steering Committee to determine if there is consensus on this model
• Issued a “white paper” in June of 2012 which involved extensive data collection from students and multiple constituencies about barriers to advancement, institutional support for advancement and education capacity
• Well on their way with RN to MSN accelerated model • Thinking about competency based model
27
• The Virginia Nurses Association and Board of Nursing website has posted school of nursing prerequisites, general education courses and nursing curricula statewide
• Defining shared curriculum and gaining consensus on this model
• Has developed a nursing workforce forecasting model for policy development.
• Surveying CNOs on barriers to education and supporting innovative strategies to correct
• Surveying current RN to BS students on overcoming obstacles to education
28
Northeast Perspective on the Models
Northeast Perspective on the Models
• In the process of writing a common curriculum
• Moving toward a common admissions application, central portal and common philosophy with roll out planned for fall of 2013
• Also beginning the discussion of a competency based curriculum
• Currently developing a plan to move forward with competency based curriculum from ADN through BSN
• Focusing on sharing competency based model framework with education and practice leaders
29
Northeast Perspective on the Models
• Developed competency based model through an RWJF PIN grant
• All five nursing programs have completed gap analysis on all competencies
• Developed one bridge course to be taught in all nursing programs
• Established Charter school for nursing for academic progression starting in high school
• Exploring opportunities to develop accelerated model for ADN to MSN
30
The Northeast Perspective on the Models • Working on a competency based model
• Three partnerships of ADN and BSN programs and their practice partners did Gap Analysis of curriculum and orientation programs
• Two seamless progression models• Two new BSN programs (Plymouth and Keene
State colleges) used competency model to develop curriculum
• Next steps - increase education level of incumbent workforce ADN to BSN and accelerated models
31
Northeast Perspective on the Models
• Working on the competency based model for over a year
• Beginning exploration of common/shared curriculum model• Action Coalition focused on developing a
marketing/communication plan to engage additional local funders in education transformation work
• Has two competency based curriculum models at Norwich University and Castleton State College
• The University of Vermont is focusing on moving the RN to MSN program to a RN to DNP model
32
Northeast Perspective on the Models
• Deans and Directors Council to sponsor statewide education summit to inform practice partners across all health care sites on the Competency model
• Have a common curriculum among the state community colleges
• Also focusing on expanding LPN to RN fast track model and overall enrollment in RN to MSN programs
• Seeking partnership with Quinnipiac College for polling to assist with data analysis
33
Northeast Perspective on the Models • Focusing on competency based model based on
MA Nurse of the Future Competencies • Have begun Gap Analysis process within
partnerships of ADN and BSN programs and practice partners with Leadership competency.
• Planning a statewide summit on October 4th to share the national perspective on the education transformation work
• Meeting with NJ Collaborating Center to focus on data needs
34
The Four Promising Models
• Community Colleges Grant RN to BSN Degree
• Accelerated Options: RN to MSN Programs
• State or Regional Competency Based Programs
• State or Regional Shared Curriculum

Competency Model Process
Agreement on Competencies
• Engage school administration in plan for curriculum redesign early on in the process
• Can select from various competencies• Develop your own• QSEN• Nurse of the Future
• Align all with AACN Essentials for Baccalaureate Education and NLN AC Competencies
38
Partnerships of Diploma, AD, BS
Nursing Programs & Practice Partners
• Practice partners bring insight into current healthcare environment and clinical learning opportunities
• May begin with “coalition of the willing”
Competency Model Process
39
Gap Analysis Process
• Technique for determining the steps to be taken in moving from a current state to a desired future state.
• It begins with the present situation (“what is”), cross-lists factors required to achieve the future objectives (“what could be”), and then highlights the ‘gaps' that exist and need to be 'filled’.
• Diploma, AD and BS programs assess curriculum against competencies
• Must demonstrate evidence of the competency in curriculum or clinical experiences
• Practice partners may examine orientation programs
Competency Model Process
40
Competencies
1. Assessment of Current Status How many opportunities are currently available for your students to learn the K/A/S by graduation?
2. Validation of Current Status Where are these learning opportunities in your curriculum and how are they taught? Can include course objectives, lecture content , clinical objectives, clinical experiences, written assignments , case studies or other documented evidence and how evaluated
3. Desired Outcomes Nursing Program How many opportunities do you (the faculty) believe should be available for your students to learn the K/A/S by graduation
4. Desired Outcomes Practice Partner(s) How many opportunities does your practice partner believe should be available for your students to learn the K/A/S by graduation?
5. GAP Between Desired Outcomes and Current Status
6. GAP Between Practice Partners Desired Outcomes and Nursing Program Desired Outcomes
Gap Analysis Process Sample
Competency Model Process
Designing New Modelsby
Addressing the Gaps
• May be designed at undergraduate level or within RN to BSN programs
• May involve dual or co-admission• May involve assessment and/or alignment of prerequisites,
general education requirements and credit transfer issues which will necessitate involvement of school administration
42
Competency Model Process
Implementation of Seamless Progression
Curriculum Models
• Competency based models provide seamless progression models
• Competency based models can also serve as foundation for shared or common curriculum models
• Some models based on 1 plus 2 plus 1 approach• Some states have begun with a cohort approach that can be
expanded within a system or across the state or region

Competency ModelLessons Learned to Date• This process addresses the fact that education and practice
do not always speak the same language• Practice needs be involved early in the review and
development of new curriculum models • Diploma, AD and BS programs all have gaps in reviewing
current competency models• Divergence and convergence are part of the process• Iterative process of innovation
