Abstract
Background: Health-care complexity increases concerns regarding a theory-practice gap for new graduates. The concept-based curriculum (CBC) is a model that minimizes content saturation and prepares students for safe patient care through clinical reasoning.
Innovation: After the Ontario government announced colleges could offer stand-alone bachelor's degrees in nursing, Lambton College leadership determined that the college would be one of the first colleges to develop an Honors Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program. To alleviate content overload, Lambton faculty developed a CBC that organizes information into broader principles to assist students learn more effectively.
Implications: A CBC can help students improve their learning and structure their thoughts which leads to graduating with the necessary critical judgment skills and ability to respond to any nursing situations they are presented with. By sharing the experience of a college that developed a CBC, other colleges can complete the same process.
Conclusion: The development of a new nursing bachelor program takes time and effort. The process requires a motivated group and a leader with expertise.
