Collaborative Core Curriculum Initiative: Alignment With Nursing Professional Development Roles.

Abstract

Multiple intensive care units shared core knowledge, skills, and competencies but provided separate orientations leading to inconsistencies in practice, variations in onboarding, and poor use of resources. In this article, the methods of aligning the nursing professional development practitioner roles to the process of standardizing a core curriculum are described. This collaborative initiative sought to increase the knowledge and comfort of the new nurses while setting precedence for collaboration with educational endeavors between the units.
