Abstract
My ORCA grant resulted in a 50 page thesis that I submitted for graduation with University Honors. The thesis was completed between April 1997 and August 1998. The focus of my thesis was change in nursing curricula. The convergence of change and nursing curricula are inevitable. In order to understand the underlying forces of change relating to nursing curricula, change, curricula, and the cumulative implications for nursing practice and education were reported. These concepts provided the foundation and significance for research questions aimed at determining why and how nursing curricula are changing. Research questions included: (a) are nursing curricula changing to accommodate shifts in health care delivery nationwide; (b) are nursing curricula changing by increasing community-focused nursing content; (c) does a review of literature substantiate responses from survey participants; and (d) are there additional areas of concern for nursing schools not already acknowledged by the researcher?
